Banff and District

Banff and District ward covers a stretch of Aberdeenshire's North Sea coast, centred on the historic burgh of Banff at the mouth of the River Deveron. The area includes coastal settlements like Macduff, with its working harbour, and extends inland through agricultural land. The local economy has traditional ties to fishing and farming, with tourism focused on the coastline and architectural heritage.

The ward's landscape is defined by the Deveron valley and cliffs such as Tarlair. Duff House, a Baroque mansion designed by William Adam, stands in Banff and is a national art gallery. The annual Banffshire Maritime Festival highlights the area's long-standing connection to the sea, centred around the twin towns of Banff and Macduff linked by a bridge over the river.
