Banffshire is quite unusual in that it had several small remote exclaves situated in the next county, the illustrated map (left) shows these small areas, they actually sit within the boundary of Aberdeenshire but had no political connections to the county of Aberdeenshire
From Wikipedia the online encyclopedia
The story of Duff House did not get off to a happy start. Disputes over its building reached such an intensity that Duff never lived here. So acrimoniously did this end that it is said that he never even looked at the completed house, having his carriage blinds drawn whenever he passed by.
