The Caledonian Mercury - Scottish news, stories and intelligent analysis Dastardly deeds at Duff House
Duff House is anything but duff. A grand classical country pile that sits about an hour’s drive North of Aberdeen, the building itself is reckoned to be one of William Adam’s best. Commissioned by William Duff (that’s Lord Braco to thee and me), building work started in 1725 and was completed only five years later.
