Scotland’s Moray Firth is teeming with amazing marine life and it’s all on show at Macduff Marine Aquarium.

Inservice day from school.....
Took my two boys up to see the improvements, can't see what's different!
We have always loved taking a trip there, the main tank was beautifully cleaned so maybe that's it?
Staff doing the talk - very knowledgeable and passionate about the fish.

In 18 months this little gem has grown! The ices remain fantastic and according to my fiancee are the best she has ever tasted especially the rose and lemon! Rest assured we will be back!
4. Duff House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
A magnificent early Georgian mansion, designed by William Adam for the Earl of Fife. It is considered to be an Adam masterpiece and is one of the most important buildings in the North. The foundation stone was laid on the 11th June 1735 and the building was finished five years later, although it took over 100 years to complete the interior. Duff House is a jewel set in a stunning triangle of coast, river and parkland. There is a tea room and shop on ground-floor level, as well as temporary Exhibitions by visiting artists and societies.

We attended a wedding at Duff house yesterday. My mum who isn't very mobile took a slow stroll to the house from car park.Having climbed the many steps up to the House entrance she was a bit tired to find that there were more. One of the wedding party asked if there was a lift. Within seconds another member of staff escorted us to the lift and another gentleman greeted us at top. After the service he came and took us down again. We've never been to Duff house but having to go through some of the beautiful rooms to reach the lift we are definitely coming back for a visit. The staff were very helpful and friendly first class and the lovely lady in the gift shop. When we went out the heavens opened and was told that we could take the car to front of house so it would be easier for mum. The grounds also look lovely and plenty parking and play area for children
5. RSPB Troup Head Nature Reserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Scotland's only Mainland gannet colony. A wonderful, wild clifftop nature reserve with over 3,000 pairs of nesting gannets. It's also a great place for spotting whales and dolphins and in spring you'll see lots of other seabirds including the odd puffin!
Reviewed By eurotraveller010 - Inverness, United Kingdom
This is the only Mainland site where gannets nest in Scotland, and you can get really, really close--some nesting birds were just 10 yards from us. It's an awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience, especially on a good day, such as we experienced. But the signposting needs restored, the track to the car park is rough, and it looked as if the local farmer had tried to plough up part of the footpath. So come prepared to rough it a bit.

I visited this swimming pool as a child, the coldest swim ever I recall! Wanted to go back and see what was left as I had read there was a move afoot to restore it to its former Art Deco glory.
It is quite difficult to find but when we arrived it was getting dark and felt quite eerie. I was able to take a few photos. Worth a wee detour to see it before it is a victim to the elements.
There is an interesting rock formation alongside the pool.
9. Museum of Banff

This is one of the oldest museums in Scotland, and is filled with the history of a very historic tow. Look out for the Banff silver, and the display on the Deskford carnyx.

The Railway Inn is our nearest pub, so we can walk there for an early evening drink. The landlord and landlady are extremely friendly and the beer is good. It's dog friendly (for well behaved dogs) and a nice place to meet the locals.
