Macduff
Macduff is a town in the Banff and also Buchan area Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is located on Banff Bay and deals with the town of Banff across the tidewater of the River Deveron. Macduff is a former burgh and also was the last location in the UK where deep-water wood fishing watercrafts were built. The settlement of Doune (from Scottish Gaelic dùn, "hill fort") was acquired in 1733 by William Duff, who became the very first Earl Fife. In 1760, James Duff, the 2nd earl, constructed a harbour there and also in 1783 did well in elevating Doune to the standing of a burgh of barony, renaming it "Macduff" after his meant ancestor. The 2nd Earl Fife appointed his variable, William Rose, as the very first Provost of Macduff in 1783. The community commemorated its bicentenary in 1983, and also the signs erected because year still stand on the major approaches to the town (most noticeably, a large sign beside the Banff Bridge on the Macduff side). Banff and also Macduff are divided by the valley of the River Deveron. This unforeseeable river was ultimately subjugated by the 7 curved bridge finished in 1799 by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been integrated in 1765, however was swept away in 1768. The old ferry was brought back into usage, until it was lost in a flooding in 1773. Early area prehistory appears by the neighboring old monument at Longman Hill, a big long barrow somewhat to the southeast of Macduff.
