For categorization, what is the difference between Banff and Banffshire?
Also, would the category, for example, Keith, Banff, Scotland or Keith,Scotland?
Thank you.

Hi Deanna, Banff is a town now in Aberdeenshire, Banffshire used to be a county in Scotland until 1975 when it was "re-organised." See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banffshire
In line with other Scottish categories. Keith would be [[Category:Keith, Scotland]] a sub category of [[Category:Banffshire, Scotland]]
If you'd like me to create the category for you just let me know. Happy to help.
