Duff House, Georgian mansion in Banff, Scotland
The three-story estate house, constructed with ashlar stone, features advanced corner towers positioned on a raised basement near the River Deveron.
William Adam designed and completed the mansion between 1735 and 1740 for William Duff of Braco, leading to a legal dispute over construction issues.
The mansion exhibits art collections from the National Galleries of Scotland, including works by El Greco, Thomas Gainsborough, and Henry Raeburn.
Visitors can access Duff House from Thursday to Sunday, with operating hours varying between summer and winter seasons, requiring advance ticket bookings.
During World War II, the building served as an internment camp, suffered bombing damage in 1940, and later became headquarters for Norwegian and Polish forces.
