This small
fishing port on
the north coast
of Moray
overlooks
beautiful Cullen
Bay, which
boasts unusual
rocks with names
like Three Kings
and the Bow
Fiddle. The
village was
part-inspiration
for ‘Portloise’
in George
Macdonald’s
famous novel
‘Malcolm’,
published in
1875. The
diarist and
author Dr
Johnson paid
Cullen a visit
in 1773. A
haddock-based
soup known as
the ‘Cullen
Skink’ has its
roots here.
The upper part of Cullen
was planned in 1832. When the railway was
being built, the Countess of Seafield would
not allow the track to be built through the
grounds of Cullen house, so it was carried on
viaducts through the town |
