Macduff is a coastal town on the on the east bank of the Moray Firth on the north-east side of Scotland, situated one mile from Banff separated by a seven arched bridge built in 1799 over the River Deveron, a Burgh of Barony from 1783. Macduff owes its presence to the sea, famous for its harbour and fishing industry. Macduff was previously a settlement known as Doune, which was purchased by William Duff in 1733. The harbour was built in 1760, the town originally comprised of a group of fishermen’s cottages developed by James Duff. Macduff is a popular tourist destination with a range of holiday accommodation, hotels, caravan parks, restaurants and pubs. The Doune Church built in 1805 looks down on Macduff and the busy harbour and offers panoramic sea-views. Macduff has a variety of attractions including the Maritime Heritage Centre and the Macduff Marine Aquarium which houses the deepest tanks in Britain and a variety of marine life. There are beaches and a waterfront swimming pool. The golf course is built on the top of the cliffs. The harbour has a marina for small fishing boats and pleasure crafts and a yacht race is held each June from the harbour to Stavanger in Norway.
