Many of the properties located in Banff date back to the late 17th or 18th century including the magnificent Duff House which was built in 1730. Duff House operates as an outstation for the National Galleries of Scotland and has extensive grounds including a play park for children.

Today, the amenities include a railway station, providing a direct link to Aberdeen and Inverness, primary and secondary schools, two major supermarkets, local shops and recreational facilities.
