Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of the James Duffus Memorial Stained Glass Window in the Baptist Church on visit to Cupar, Fife. The surname Duffus was first found in Perthshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt, a former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where one of the first records of the name was Duncan Duff who was witness to a charter in 1275. The Clan claim descent from Duff, Dubh, the Black, died 967, King of Celtic Alban. He was son of Malcolm and succeeded, in 962, Constantine as king. " In 965 Duff defeated Colin, the son of Indulph, supported by the abbot of Dunkeld and the chief of Athole at Drumcrub in Strathearn. Two years later Colin reversed this victory and expelled Duff, who, according to a later chronicle, was afterwards, when attempting to recover his kingdom, slain at Forres. His body was hidden under the bridge of Kinloss, and the sun did not shine till it was found and buried. An eclipse on 10 July 967 may have originated or confirmed this story. Spelling variations of the name Duffus include Duff, MacDuff and others.
