About the Club

Since its foundation in 1880 Banffshire Field Club has offered a programme of talks on a wide range of topics relating to the historic county of Banff. Typically these include social and political history, architecture, geology, natural history, archaeology, literature, agriculture and even murder and mayhem.

The Covid pandemic caused major disruption to our regular monthly talks and it became clear that the time had come for a change of direction. Our efforts are now concentrated on holding an annual conference, keeping the focus on Banffshire. The first such event, with the theme of “Banffshire Fowk” took place in October 2023 and was attended by over 70 enthusiastic delegates. Future events are publicised via our Facebook page and through other appropriate channels.

We continue to encourage an interest in historic Banffshire, offering publications for sale in our online shop and making our archive of Transactions freely available for download. Please enjoy exploring our website!
