 Duff House
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

Duff House Duff House, on the outskirts of Banff, has been many things during its long and turbullentr life; a stately home, an internment camp, a barracks, a hotel, a sanitorium, and an art gallery. It has been argued over, built and rebuilt, and bombed. It was the subject of a long and bitter lawsuit that left one party to the suit broken in health and spirit, and one Countess of Fife even attempted to murder her husband here.
