Macduff



         


Banff and Macduff are twin burghs in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Banff lies on the west bank, and Macduff on the east bank, of the mouth of the River Deveron. The towns have an aquarium, beaches, and are home to the Colleonard Sculpture Park. Also in the burghs is Duff House, designed by William Adam in 1730, and now part of the National Gallery of Scotland. Banff was formerly the county town of Banffshire.

Macduff is a character in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. He is the Thane of Fife, and flees to England with the son of King Duncan when the king is slain by Macbeth. He later fights Macbeth during a war to take back the throne; it has been prophecied that Macbeth cannot be killed by any "man of woman born," but Macduff reveals he was born by Caesarean section, and kills him.
