James Duff, 2nd Earl of Fife, served as MP for Banffshire (1754–1784) and for Elginshire (1784–1790). His tireless efforts to improve his estates led to his being twice awarded the gold medal of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce. He established Macduff as a burgh of barony in 1783, extending the town and improving the harbour.
