Banff is situated on Banff Bay and faces the town of Macduff across the estuary of the River Banff is a former royal burgh, as well as is the county town of the historical area of Banffshire. Banff's first castle was built to ward off Viking invaders and also a charter of 1163 AD reveals that Malcolm IV was living there during that time. Throughout this duration the community was a busy trading centre in the "totally free hanse" of Northern Scottish burghs, regardless of not having its own harbour till 1775. The very first recorded Sheriff of Banff was Richard de Strathewan in 1264, as well as in 1372 Royal Burgh condition was given by King Robert II. By the 15th century Banff was just one of 3 primary communities exporting salmon to the continent of Europe, along with Aberdeen as well as Montrose. There was a great deal of lawlessness in seventeenth-century Scotland, and also a few of the most awful culprits were participants of the nobility. According to records kept by historian William Cramond, the tolbooth (court house and also prison) of Banff was, in 1628, the site of a run-in in between Lord Banff and James Ogilvie, his loved one. Supposedly, he struck James Ogilvie upon the head with a baton during a court hearing. Twenty of his close friends and fans after that attacked Ogilvie with swords prior to chasing him right into the street and also completing him off with a handgun shot. Banff and Macduff are divided by the valley of the River Deveron. This unpredictable river was ultimately subjugated by the seven arched bridge completed in 1779 by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had actually been built in 1765, however was swept away in 1768. The old ferryboat was revived right into usage, up until it was shed in a flooding in 1773. A public conference was held in 1800 and also passed a resolution for the building of a turnpike road in between Turiff as well as Banff as the existing road remained in an unfortunate state of fixing. Later 19th century transport renovations included the building of 2 railway lines, from Macduff to Turiff in 1860 and also the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway in 1859 which linked to the main Aberdeen to Inverness line. During the 19th Century the Banff Fishery District (consisting of the ports from Crovie to Sandend) was very important to the herring trade, with manufacturing coming to a head in 1853 at more than sixty-thousand barrels, of which almost thirty-four thousand were exported, nevertheless by 1912 production had actually declined to simply over 8 thousand barrels. Presently, the languages spoken in the town and also in its area tend to be the Doric language of Scots, as well as English.
