About Banff

Banff is a historic fishing port on Scotland's northeast coast where the River Deveron meets the North Sea. The A98 coastal road connects it to Aberdeen (65km via A96) and provides access to the dramatic Moray Firth coastline. About 7 public EV chargers serve the area. The town's most striking feature is John Smeaton's elegant seven-arched bridge from 1779, spanning the Deveron with the same engineering precision he brought to the Eddystone Lighthouse.
