Entry to Duff House Light lunch in the café Time in Banff Travel throughout
A beautiful mansion with a colourful history, Duff House is a rare gem on the East Coast! Dating back to 1735, Duff House is thought to be one of the finest Georgian houses, built by William Adam for William Braco. However, after many disputes, Braco never lived there and a five year court case between the two Williams escalated. Today, the elegant mansion is part of the National Gallery of Scotland, with a range of art treasures and beautifully decorated rooms to browse. Why not venture out to the perfectly landscaped grounds and enjoy a stroll around this historic building, before continuing to the historic town of Banff.
