Description
Even though the money ran out and it was never finished Duff House is a jewel of Georgian architecture. Built in the style of the Roman Villa Borghese it was commissioned by William Duff the first Earl of Fife but after 13 years the work had to stop. The two-story building is decorated with Corinthian pilasters, ornate gables and four corner towers. During the 19th C some of the bedrooms were fitted out in Victorian style. Historic Scotland runs the estate and plans are in hand to convert the house into an art gallery.
