Banffshire

Banffshire (Siorrachd Bhanbh in Gaelic) is a small traditional county in the north of Scotland. The traditional county town is Banff. It borders the Moray Firth to the north, Morayshire and Inverness-shire to the west, and Aberdeenshire to the south. The traditional county contains various exclaves which are locally situated in Aberdeenshire, the biggest being the parish and village of St. Fergus. From 1974 to 1996, the county also lay within the Grampian Region. The area the county covers is currently split for administrative purposes between Moray council and Aberdeenshire council.
