Our history, family, future plans and ethos here at Duffus

Home | About

The Dunbar family have been in Duffus since the late 1600’s

Old Duffus Farmhouse, Kirktoun Cottage and The Lodge form part of Duffus Estate, a small agricultural estate comprising of four working farms.

A family home for centuries

The Dunbar family have been in Duffus since the late 1600’s. Sir William Dunbar of Northfield was granted the Baronesy of Nova Scotia by the King William III in April 1700.

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.
