Dance Information

Dufftown (pronounced "duff-tun") is a burgh in Moray, in the ancient parish of Mortlach, Scotland, on the River Fiddich and is the location of several Scotch whisky distilleries.

The old Kirkton of Mortlach, with its historic church, is on the southern outskirts of the present town. In the 19th century, James Duff, 4th Earl Fife, established Dufftown as housing for soldiers returning home from the Napoleonic War.
