Cullen Has a NEW Motorhome Stopover. Cullen, the birthplace of Cullen Skink, sits on the Banffshire Coast in North East Scotland. The Banffshire coast is one of the world’s outstanding coastlines, says the National Geographic. Not just for its natural beauty with plentiful wildlife – there are dolphins, seals, puffins and other seabirds in abundance – but for its strong community feeling. Cullen has stunning sandy beaches and seascapes, coast paths, an historic harbour designed by Thomas Telford, great shops and eateries and places to stay all set against the stunning backdrop of old railway viaducts, Castle Hill viewpoint and the Bin of Cullen and is part of the North East 250 Touring Route. Cullen is a former royal burgh in Moray, Scotland, on the North Sea coast The organs of the wife of Robert the Bruce are said to have been buried in its old kirk (church) after her death in Cullen Castle. Robert the Bruce made an annual payment to the village in gratitude for the treatment of his wife's body and its return south for burial A recent non-payment of this sum by the government was challenged and settled to the village's favour. The village is noted for Cullen Skink (a traditional soup made from smoked haddock, milk, potato and onion) and its former railway bridges, two of which are now part of the national cycle network. Quick Facts about Cullen Cullen sits on the Moray Firth between the villages of Portknockie and Sandend. Cullen was a Royal Burgh, which was founded by William the Lion sometime towards the end of the 12th century. The village is split into two parts – the waterfront fishing village of Seatown, and New Cullen which sits behind. Castle Hill was home to a wooden fort from the 11th century, and it is believed that King Robert the Bruce’s Queen Elizabeth de Burgh died in the castle in in 1327, and some of her remains were buried in Cullen Auld Kirk. The Duke of Cumberland used Castle Hill as a meeting spot for his army of red coasts before the Battle of Culloden in 1746. After falling into a state of neglect, Castle Hill is now a popular viewpoint and beauty spot, after a two-year community project to bring it back to life, which finished in 2018. Cullen Harbour was designed by Thomas Telford; a renowned Scottish engineer who also designed the Caledonian Canal, Dunkeld Bridge and Dean Bridge in Edinburgh. Fishing was the main industry in Cullen for over 500 years, but nowadays the harbour is mainly used for leisure vessels. The popular fish soup Cullen Skink is from… Cullen! Who would’ve thought?
