A small circular stone folly on the shoulder of Doune Hill above Macduff, built in the 18th century as a landscape feature on the Duff estate. From outside it looks modest — a low drum of masonry with a domed roof — but the views from the surrounding hillside are wide and rewarding: Banff Bay stretches below, the Deveron estuary cuts between the two towns, and on clear days the Moray coast extends east and west to the horizon.
The walk up from town takes about 15 to 20 minutes on a clear path. It is best in the late afternoon when the light on the bay is at its most dramatic. There is no entrance fee — it is simply a public landmark on a hill. The folly can be entered; the domed ceiling is intact.
