Macduff
Macduff is a town in the Banff and also Buchan location Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is situated on Banff Bay and deals with the community of Banff across the tidewater of the River Deveron. Macduff is a former burgh and was the last area in the United Kingdom where deep-water wood angling boats were built. The negotiation of Doune (from Scottish Gaelic dùn, "hill fort") was bought in 1733 by William Duff, who came to be the initial Earl Fife. In 1760, James Duff, the 2nd earl, developed a harbour there and also in 1783 succeeded in increasing Doune to the condition of a burgh of barony, relabeling it "Macduff" after his meant ancestor. The 2nd Earl Fife assigned his factor, William Rose, as the very first Provost of Macduff in 1783. The town celebrated its bicentenary in 1983, and the indicators set up in that year still stand on the major techniques to the town (most visibly, a huge sign next to the Banff Bridge on the Macduff side). Banff as well as Macduff are separated by the valley of the River Deveron. This unpredictable river was ultimately tamed by the seven arched bridge finished in 1799 by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been constructed in 1765, however was swept away in 1768. The old ferry was revived right into use, until it was lost in a flooding in 1773. Early location prehistory appears by the close-by ancient monolith at Longman Hill, a large long barrow rather to the southeast of Macduff.
