When I drove into Dufftown this morning I was a little surprised to see that the Christmas lights were still in place in Balvenie Street. On reaching Church Street, however, there was a vehicle and crew busy taking them down. The gaudy façade on the left is that of the notorious Glenfiddich Café, which sticks in my memory as being the first place I ever encountered where there was a charge for a glass of tap water. I have not darkened its door since that day almost thirty years ago. For a different take on this establishment see Image] - though serving 'Dufftowns finest' [sic] is hardly unique to here.
