Dufftown's Attractions

Dufftown has several local attractions that offer the visitor a fascinating insight into the culture and heritage of Speyside and north eastern Scotland.

Huntly Falconry Centre

The art of the Falconer is inextricably woven into the history of north eastern Scotland. Hawks and falcons were indispensable hunting accessories for princes and clan chiefs in times gone by. Discover the secrets of this ancient art on a visit to the Huntly Falconry Centre and see flying displays with falcons, owls, hawks and even golden eagles.

Balvenie Castle

Balvenie is a striking fortification on first acquaintance. Partially hidden by woodland, there is more to this castle than meets the eye and the interior is very much larger than seems possible from the outside. Close inspection presents the visitor with a unique account of life many hundreds of years ago when the powerful Comyn earls ruled in Glenfiddich.

Auchindoun Castle

The picturesque ruins of Auchindoun Castle stand on a hilltop within the earthworks of an Iron Age hill fort just two miles to the south east of Dufftown. Its lonely and commanding situation evokes memories of a turbulent past and feuds between warring local clans.
