Banff, a royal burgh, is first mentioned as a burgh in a charter by William the Lion to the bishop of Moray (1189 x 1198); there is a confirming charter of 1226. The burgh was set in feu-ferme by the crown to the burgesses and community in 1372, and it made its first recorded appearance in Parliament in 1469.
