Duff House

Richly detailed mansion on edge of Banff is one of Britain's finest works of Georgian baroque archi-tecture. Designed by William Adam in 1735 for William Doff, later 1st Earl of Fife. A second classical wing added 1870, then house drifted into decay. It served as a hotel and sanitorium; and housed German prisoners of World War II. Rooms are now restored but mansion still unfurnished and uninhabited. Exhibition on building's history.
