📌 Duffus, Moray
★★★
The perfectly rectangular village of Duffus, on the road between the county capital of Elgin and the Moray coast village of Hopeman, is probably best known for the private boarding school of Gordonstoun. Its key draw for tourists, however, is 12th century Duffus Castle. Once belonging to the Moray family, this has to be one of the most interesting castles in Scotland that’s still free to visit, partially on a prominent motte but gradually collapsing down the hillside.
