Open Thursday to Sunday, 10.00am – 4.30pm (closed for lunch 12.30pm-1.15pm, last admission 3.30pm), the exhibition by the Friends of Duff House showcases a most interesting and eventful time in the story of Duff House will tell stories from this period on multiple panels, prompted by the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8 May.
The German bombing of the POW camp is fairly well known although additional details will be shared; but Duff House, during this period, had many other uses – and even more suggested ones. Housing German merchant seamen was one use, another being a garrison to protect against a potential invasion into the Moray Firth (this will include images of a rarely seen map that appears to be a planning map of a possible invasion scenario).
This exhibition is being held alongside others at the Museum of Banff and at Banff Castle, which explore Banff and Macduff during World War 2.
