Old photograph of Drummuir Castle near Keith in Moray, Scotland. Drummuir Castle was built in 1847 by Thomas Mackenzie for Admiral Archibald Duff, whose distinguished career included service with Lord Nelson. The Duffs of Drummuir were descended from Duff of Clunybeg who died in 1674; and the Gordons of Park, to which property a Colonel Duff succeeded on the death of his grandmother in 1808. Admiral Archibald Duff died at Braemorriston, near Elgin, on the 9th day of February 1858 aged 84. Francis Jones, widow of Admiral Archibald Duff of Drummuir, died at Braemorriston on 21 December 1861 aged 74.
