Dufftown was purpose-built in 1817 by the Earl of Fife, and it has spent the two centuries since becoming one of the most concentrated whisky-producing towns on earth.
Seven stills, and a rhyme to match
The old local rhyme — "Rome was built on seven hills, Dufftown stands on seven stills" — reflects a time when the town counted seven working distilleries. The number has settled at six today, including Glenfiddich, Mortlach, Balvenie and Glendullan, but Dufftown still produces more malt whisky than any other town in Scotland.
A clock tower built as a gaol
At the crossroads in the centre of town stands the Dufftown Clock Tower, built from grey and pink granite in 1839 — originally as the town gaol, later the Burgh Chambers, and now a tourist information centre.
