Banffshire is located in Scotland

Banffshire

Located in northeastern Scotland, Banffshire is a lieutenancy region, county, and historic district. Banff is the county seat, while Buckie, to the west, is where most people live. To the north is the Moray Firth, to the west is Morayshire and Inverness-shire, and to the east and south is Aberdeenshire.

Local government council

Banffshire (the County of Banff) had its own county council from 1890 to 1975. Sheriff Court and County Hall served as the administrative headquarters for the County Council of Banffshire.

In 1975, the administrative county of Banffshire was dissolved, and its area was split between the Moray and Banff and Buchan districts in the Grampian region. Due to its dissolution in 1996, the former Grampian region is now subsumed by Moray and Aberdeenshire (note that both these polities have different boundaries to the historic counties of the same names).

History

Many artifacts and sites near the coast attest to ancient human presence. For instance, Cairn Lee and the Longman Hill cairn can be seen in northern Banffshire close to the Burn of Myrehouse.

Several castles from the Middle Ages and the Gamrie Kirk, built in the 12th century, may be found in the vicinity.

The parish and village of St. Fergus were the largest exclaves in the county until 1891, when they were moved to Aberdeenshire.

Geography

Banffshire's extended appearance is due to its 30-mile stretch of shoreline along the Moray Firth from Spey Bay to Cullaykhan Bay and its long, tapering 'tail' running inland some 55 or so miles.
