A bustling market town
mentioned in the 9th century ‘Book of Deer’,
Turriff boasts a ruined 17th century church and
Delgatie Castle, home of the Clan Hay. Mary Queen
of Scots came here and her portrait still hangs in
one of the bedrooms. Nearby Craigston Castle dates
from the early 17th century. The town was the
location of the first ‘Trot of Turriff’ in 1639 –
the start of the Bishops War.
