Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Town: The Moray coastal town of Cullen is situated on Cullen Bay, an inlet of the Moray Firth, and is an extremely attractive town, originally built around the mouth of the Burn of Deskford. Modern Cullen comprises the delightful fishing village of Seatown and an ‘inland’ area, which stretches up an imposing main street from Seatown, underneath a spectacular viaduct. Although the wealth of Cullen was built on textiles in the 18th century, the town is best known for its fishing heritage, its name being given to a rich, creamy haddock soup known as Cullen Skink. Visitors can enjoy Cullen’s lovely sandy beach, the famous Ice Cream Shop—regarded by many as Scotland’s best ice cream parlour—a fine selection of independent shops, welcoming cafés, and quality dining options. Cullen offers a rich blend of coastal beauty, outdoor adventure, and cultural heritage. From scenic walks like the Giant’s Steps and Crannoch Hill to historical landmarks such as Cullen House and the Auld Kirk, there’s plenty to explore. The town’s accessible paths and friendly atmosphere make it a perfect place to enjoy nature, history, and seaside charm all in one visit. Lace up your hiking boots and pack your provisions—Cullen is bursting with short walks and scenic spots waiting to be discovered. Wander through Crannoch Woods or take on the climb up Bin Hill for panoramic views. Stroll beneath the iconic Cullen Viaducts or along the dramatic coastline to the distinctive Three Kings Rocks and Logie Head. Discover hidden gems like the Pet Cemetery and the ruins of Findlater Castle, or unwind at Sunnyside Beach. For a more relaxed pace, visit the Heritage Centre, enjoy a sauna by the sea, or cycle along the North East 250 Touring Route. Watersports are also on offer, with paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing, and coastal rowing available through the Cullen Sea School. A well-equipped playpark and peaceful village paths round out the perfect day outdoors. Take a swing at the highly rated Cullen Links Golf Club, where many parts of the course offer breathtaking views over the Moray Firth, blending challenging play with unforgettable coastal scenery.
