This is one of the oldest museums in Scotland, and is filled with the history of a very historic tow. Look out for the Banff silver, and the display on the Deskford carnyx.

We were made to feel so welcome with our two large dogs, treats given and water offered. What we loved so much is how friendly the landlady and the customers were. Truly made us feel at home. The only negative is we only managed to go once on our holiday. If you want a down to earth friendly pub this is the one for you!

Having seen this bridge on Tv, we decided to visit it. Parking at Duff House, Banff, we followed the trail towards Alvah bridge. A scenic route, talking a leisurely 30-40 minutes until arriving at the bridge. An impressive bridge to say the least, over the Deveron river. A most enjoyable walk too. I'll let my photos do the talking.

6. Duff House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 301 reviews
This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. A magnificent early Georgian mansion, designed by William Adam for the Earl of Fife. It is considered to be an Adam masterpiece and is one of the most important buildings in the North. The foundation stone was laid on the 11th June 1735 and the building was finished five years later, although it took over 100 years to complete the interior. Duff House is a jewel set in a stunning triangle of coast, river and parkland. There is a tea room and shop on ground-floor level, as well as temporary exhibitions by visiting artists and societies.

Unfortunately we could not see inside Duff house due to Covid-19 restrictions, but even from the outside, it looks magnificent. Be sure to do the forest walks from here to Alvah Bridge, stopping off to see the Icehouse and the Mausoleum.
