The Future at Duffus Estate
In August 2017 the family, and Duffus House, entered a new phase in its history as our lease to Gordonstoun finished. As a result we have been busily planning for the future. Namely we have a new campsite in planning, follow the link below to find out more.


Our Ethos at Duffus Estate
People, specifically our staff and guests, are at the core of our business. Therefore we want both to feel valued and happy.
Kula Coffee Hut
We always knew we wanted to do something else at Duffus Castle but it took lockdown due to Covid to really make us crystalise our plans. With our passion for food and drink we knew the time was right to launch a wee take away. The social landscape has changed and our community are far more comfortable eating and drinking outside.
We are very lucky to be in a position where we can offer our customers a true ‘brew with a view’.


Sunstainability
Moving with the times, Sir Edward Dunbar and Lady Caroline Dunbar are keen to minimise the Estate’s environmental impact and manage the land to encourage the local flora and fauna to thrive. Consequently, weaving this into everything we do has come into sharp focus. Follow the link to find out more.
