Banff is a pretty wee town located in a region of Scotland that has few tourists compared to many parts of the country, leading to it being an ideal place to escape from Scotland's summer crowds. There is a long golden sand beach at Boyndie Bay to the north and lots of pleasant walks along the coastline in both directions. The town centre has lots of coffee shops, there is a golf course and a museum, and there is the Banff Heritage Trail which takes visitors on a circuit to view the town's most historic sites.
