Cullen Coastal Village and Beach

Highlight • Settlement

There's plenty to attract hikers to Cullen. This attractive seaside village is the end point of the Moray Coast Trail and boasts some glorious coastal walks. Be sure to try out the famous Cullen Skink, a soup based around smoked haddock. Nearby Bow Fiddle Rock is an obvious highlight.

Inland, you can find a charming, wee hillwalk in the form of the Bin of Cullen, a prominent forested dome. The route to the top is straightforward, ideal for the whole family. From the top, you can enjoy sea views to the north and the enticing profile of the distant Cairngorms to the south.

Cullen Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

The Cullen Viaduct was built in 1884 to keep the railway line away from the Earl of Seafield's house. Its eight marvellous arches are a conspicuous sight above the the royal burgh. The railway line closed in 1968 but the viaduct remains, a spectacular remnant of the old Moray Coast line.
