... Pretty coastal harbour view... the heart of the town... it was once the hub of the area’s fishing industry... the centre of the town today still revolves around the harbour, where commercial fishing vessels continue to steam in and out of port... the town of Macduff has grown up around its busy working harbour and thriving shipbuilding industry which continues today... the harbour in Macduff is still a commercial harbour, the one in Banff is now strictly recreational... Thanks very much dear Andrene!(✿◠‿◠) "Family is one of the most important, if not the most important thing in our lives."❤️😊
Macduff (Gaelic An Dùn) is a town in the Banff and Buchan area in Aberdeenshire. It is situated on Banff Bay and faces the
town of Banff across the estuary of the River Deveron.
The foundations for the modern facility were put in place by the Duff family and James, Second Earl of Fife. Construction commenced in the 1770’s with the first basin created in 1783. By 1791 there were two basins, east and west, the latter remaining in place as it is today. The harbour remained in the ownership of the Duff family until 1898 when it was transferred to Macduff Town Council.
