Banff
Banff is a town in the Banff and Buchan area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Banff is situated on Banff Bay and faces the town of Macduff across the estuary of the River Banff is a former royal burgh, and also is the county town of the historic region of Banffshire. Banff's very first castle was constructed to drive away Viking intruders and also a charter of 1163 AD shows that Malcolm IV was living there back then. During this duration the community was an active trading centre in the "totally free hanse" of Northern Scottish burghs, in spite of not having its very own harbour up until 1775. The first documented Sheriff of Banff was Richard de Strathewan in 1264, and in 1372 Royal Burgh status was given by King Robert II. By the 15th century Banff was just one of 3 primary communities exporting salmon to the continent of Europe, together with Aberdeen as well as Montrose. There was a large amount of lawlessness in seventeenth-century Scotland, and a few of the most awful transgressors were participants of the nobility. According to documents maintained by historian William Cramond, the tolbooth (courthouse and prison) of Banff was, in 1628, the website of an altercation between Lord Banff as well as James Ogilvie, his loved one. Apparently, he struck James Ogilvie upon the head with a baton throughout a court hearing. Twenty of his good friends and fans then struck Ogilvie with swords before chasing him right into the street and completing him off with a gun shot. Banff and also Macduff are divided by the valley of the River Deveron. This unforeseeable river was ultimately tamed by the 7 curved bridge completed in 1779 by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been constructed in 1765, but was swept away in 1768. The old ferryboat was brought back into usage, till it was shed in a flooding in 1773. A public conference was held in 1800 as well as passed a resolution for the building of a turnpike roadway between Turiff and also Banff as the existing road was in a depressing state of fixing. Later on 19th century transport renovations included the structure of 2 railway lines, from Macduff to Turiff in 1860 and the Banff, Portsoy and also Strathisla Railway in 1859 which connected to the primary Aberdeen to Inverness line. Throughout the 19th Century the Banff Fishery District (consisting of the ports from Crovie to Sandend) was necessary to the herring profession, with production peaking in 1853 at more than sixty-thousand barrels, of which nearly thirty-four thousand were exported, nonetheless by 1912 manufacturing had decreased to simply over eight thousand barrels. Currently, the languages spoken in the community and also in its vicinity often tend to be the Doric language of Scots, as well as English.
