[[Sirius Black]] was sighted in this burgh sometime between [[2 September]] and [[5 September]] of [[1993]], by a [[Muggle]] woman. She called the [[Crime Watchers Hotline]], a special hotline to report sightings of Black. The [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] was automatically alerted and [[Cornelius Fudge]] (then-[[Minister for Magic]]) dispatched hundreds of [[Ministry of Magic Witch Watchers|Witch Watcher Special Forces]] to the village, as well as hundreds of [[Dementor]]s. This proved unsuccessful, as Black had already left when they got there. Furthermore, the population of Dufftown panicked when the [[Dementor]]s arrived, so the Special Forces took more than four hours to calm everyone down.<ref name="PAf 11"/>

Dufftown is a burgh in Banffshire, Scotland, that, according to Hermione, is "not very far" from Hogwarts Castle. This burgh became notable for being one of the only places Sirius Black was ever sighted after his break-out from Azkaban. [1]
