LOCATION

Cullen, a village and former Royal Burgh, sits about 20 miles east of Elgin on the Moray Firth coast, nestled between Buckie and Portsoy. Its historical significance and picturesque coastal surroundings make it an attractive spot for both permanent residents, numbering around 1,500, and tourists seeking holiday getaways.

An ideal location for many outdoor pursuits including fishing and hill walking, Cullen is home to the highly-regarded Cullen Golf Club, whose challenging short eighteen-hole course begins with the first nine holes located among the cliffs before descending to beach level. The village also offers a good range of local amenities, offering a variety of shops, health services and a post office and public library.

Cullen provides many opportunities to eat out, from Indian cuisine to traditional cosy pub grub and high-end dining experiences. There are also many coffee shops and nearby bars for an evening drink. Cullen also boasts several community clubs and organisations which offer for all age groups, helping newcomers to the area to settle in quickly.

The local schooling options are diverse, with Cullen Primary offering a scenic environment on the outskirts, while nearby Buckie provides Cluny and St. Peters Primaries, just a short drive away. Buckie also houses a commendable secondary school equipped with amenities like a swimming pool and leisure complex. Easy access to the A98 and Buckie's amenities, including a bustling harbour, leisure centre, and golf courses, enhances the area's appeal for families.

With its roots deeply intertwined with fishing, Cullen boasts a historic harbor designed by Thomas Telford in the 19th century. Beyond its maritime heritage, the village is renowned for Cullen Skink, a flavorful haddock soup, celebrated through an annual Cullen Skink World Championships event. Notable landmarks like Cullen Old Kirk, dating partly to the 13th century, and the striking Cullen viaduct, now part of scenic walking routes, add to the village's cultural charm. Additionally, sightings of bottlenose dolphins in the Moray Firth waters are a common delight, occasionally joined by white-sided dolphins and orcas.
