The Area

Duffus Estate is the ideal base for exploring Moray, located just five minutes from the sandy beaches of the Moray Firth, often voted among the top 12 in the world by National Geographic Society’s ‘Traveller’ magazine. You may even spot bottlenose dolphins or minke whales. Moray is renowned for its malt whisky distilleries, boasting more than half of Scotland’s total. Visiting during whisky festivals in May and September or touring the Speyside Malt Whisky Trail is highly recommended. With golf, walking, cycling, bird watching, and impressive ruins like Duffus Castle, St Peter’s Kirk, and Spynie Palace nearby, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained.
