Macduff
Macduff is a town in the Banff as well as Buchan location Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is positioned on Banff Bay and faces the town of Banff throughout the estuary of the River Deveron. Macduff is a former burgh and also was the last location in the United Kingdom where deep-water wood fishing watercrafts were built. The negotiation of Doune (from Scottish Gaelic dùn, "hill fort") was purchased in 1733 by William Duff, who came to be the initial Earl Fife. In 1760, James Duff, the second earl, constructed a harbour there and in 1783 succeeded in raising Doune to the status of a burgh of barony, relabeling it "Macduff" after his supposed ancestor. The second Earl Fife appointed his aspect, William Rose, as the initial Provost of Macduff in 1783. The town commemorated its bicentenary in 1983, and also the signs erected in that year still depend on the main approaches to the town (most visibly, a big indicator next to the Banff Bridge on the Macduff side). Banff as well as Macduff are divided by the valley of the River Deveron. This uncertain river was ultimately tamed by the 7 curved bridge finished in 1799 by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been constructed in 1765, however was swept away in 1768. The old ferryboat was revived right into use, till it was lost in a flood in 1773. Early location prehistory is manifested by the nearby old monument at Longman Hill, a huge long barrow somewhat to the southeast of Macduff.
