What's New

Are you a Second Word War history buff? Want to find out more about the area? Well now you can with our new book Duff House at War. Written by best-selling author and historian Allan Burnett, the book tells for the very first time the fascinating story of Duff House during the Second World War. Based on eye witness accounts Allan tells the story of the house during the war from its conversion as family home to prisoner of war camp, including a dramatic account of its bombing by a stray Heinkel III bomber in 1940 and its final transformation to a billet for British, Norwegian and Polish servicemen. On sale in the Duff House shop for only £4.99.

This book was created as a result of research undertaken as part of the Your Past Their Future project and the publication of this book was supported by Aberdeenshire Council, The Big Lottery Fund and Museums Galleries Scotland.

Allan is also the author of the highly popular children's history books The And All That series which are also stocked in the shop.
