What is recorded here

Banff Old Town Hall occupies 31, 33 and 35 Castle Street as a nineteenth-century town hall and Masonic hall in Aberdeenshire. Its odd double life is still written in the address: public ceremony on one side, private ritual on the other. A building large enough for both suggests a town proud enough to keep its secrets and its celebrations under one roof.
