- 4K City Walks: Cullen, Scotland Virtual Treadmill Walking Tour on Moray Firth
We made it to Scotland and we are bringing you along on a virtual walk. We spent the night in Edinburgh and headed north to the Moray coast. There are lots of outdoor things to do in Moray which is a county on the Moray Firth or bay. We are staying in Cullen, home to Cullen Skink which is actually just a chowder made with smoked haddock. It's delicious and can be purchased at the hotels and restaurants locally.
The walking here is glorious. There are local walks and trails everywhere and a town every few miles with a place to stop for a pint or a bowl of cullen skink. Cullen itself is an old fishing village with a beautiful sandy beach nestled between Portknockie and Portsoy (I love these names). It is now mainly a vacation area with lots of very efficient stone houses of one or two stories. Our Cullen Bay accommodation is a little fisherman's cottage with very low ceilings but nice and cozy down by the beach.
In this virtual treadmill walk, I start in a little park above the town to give you a nice view of the town, then down through the high street and over to the cliffs, down to the harbor and end at the little creek running beneath a 19th century railway bridge and into the sea.
From Wikipedia:
Cullen (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Cuilinn) is a village and former royal burgh in Moray, Scotland, on the North Sea coast 20 miles (32 km) east of Elgin. The village now has a population of 1,327. Cullen is noticeably busier in summer than winter due to the number of holiday homes owned. 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. These bridges were required, at considerable cost, due to resistance to the railway line being routed any closer to Cullen House. The most westerly (and by far the longest) viaduct is highly photogenic, and often features in tourist guides and Scottish calendars. Near Cullen is the peak Bin Hill, visible from some distance, such as from Longman Hill.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions for our time in Scotland. I'm hoping to get in Inverness and Aberdeen as well as one or two more in Edinburgh as well as several coastal walks.
Thanks!

Very quiet place to live

I live here, it’s really good.
Cwazy Cow fantastic. I love hearing from locals. I hope I did your town justice. - Henry
Very peaceful place 🥰
It really is. Very relaxed and lots of great walks around. I'll be sharing them over the next few weeks. -Henry
Enjoyed watching your walking tour of Cullen. My grandfather owned a chemist shop in the square a long time ago, it is now a newsagent. Your video brought back many happy memories of Cullen. Your videos are great quality and very relaxing to watch and I intend to view more when I get the time, thanks and keep walking.
Duncan Findlay Very cool. I love hearing from people with a connection to the place. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for letting me know and sharing your story.
And keep on walking! Does a lot of good to you and to us. Thank you!
Thank you too! -H
Beautiful place.
It really is. When the sun shines it is sublime. Thanks for the comment and for watching - Henry
Excellent video, such a quiet and peaceful place, kind of place where everybody knows everybody, where people don't lock their doors,loved the houses and the streets and the beach area, thank you so much, I feel so relaxed after watching the video.
So glad to hear it. Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment. All the best. -Henry
Love these videos! I recently found out an ancestor of mine, Rear Admiral James Oughton (d. 1832), is buried at Cullen Old Kirk. Now I’m traveling vicariously through your videos and planning my own trip. Once this stupid lockdown is (hopefully) over with!
Cheers from Baltimore, MD!
Very cool to find such a prominent ancestor. Cullen and the whole coast is wonderful. Hope you get to make your trip soon. -H
Wow! 😳
So wondergul view, and wonderful bridge on the left in the beginning. So old and interesting houses. You know what to show 😊
I want there already 😊
Thank You, City Walks 😊
Yes, the bridge is now a foot path and is quite stunning over the small river. It's an old town, at least 4 hundred years old. Very quaint and friendly. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. -Henry

Beautiful Thank you for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you ! Do to the wildfires this year I am walking indoors, this was perfect!
You are welcome. Glad these are useful. Keep on Steppin' -H
Nice video. It is a pity we didn't know you were doing this, we could have met up with you and wandered around, but like it nevertheless. Glad you enjoyed. We have shared it to Cullen Past and Present Facebook page.
Dennis Paterson I would’ve loved that. Thanks for the offer and sorry that I didn’t get this posted sooner. We really enjoyed our month and Cullen. It is so beautiful and so charming and the walking is just wonderful. Thanks for leaving the comment and for watching. - Henry
I love Scotland, every inch of it! Thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoyed it! We love it too. -H
Share very interesting, many view beautiful 😍 👍
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. -Henry
What a wonderful walk, that's for sharing this - such a pretty location and that viaduct looks great. It seems strange watching you walk around a UK town, I'm so used to you filming in US towns, which have such a different feel to them.
😋
just catching up with some of your older walks Henry. Looks a lovely little coastal town. Makes me a bit ashamed really. Although I've been fortunate to travel quite. a bit. The US and Europe Asia etc, yet there s such a lot of my own country i've just not seen! The furthest North i've been is Edinburgh. Must address that soon I think. Thanks again for a great walk.
So glad you enjoyed it. I think that's common, not touring around our own backyards. I've been discovering many little towns here in Montana this year. -H
Cool vid!
👍👋😀
Nice vibes from Scotland 👌🏼
Definitely. Thanks for the comment and watching. All the best. -Henry
Thanks for taking us to Scotland. I like the chair carved from the mountain. Did you visit Queen Mary of Scots's castle?
You're welcome. I've been to Linlithgow and Stirling but I didn't film there. Thanks for staying tuned -Henry
Thank you for interesting video.
Happy to oblige. Thanks for the kind comment. -Henry
It would be nice to also have some walking tours in southern Europe, Turkey or North Africa.
I agree and thanks for letting me know. I'll add them to the list but, of course, no idea when I'll get there. Thanks! -Henry
Thank you so much for the tour. I love to keep your walking tours on my TV as a background screensaver type of entertainment. You have a very warm voice and my husband and I enjoy your tours. Im trying to figure out which bench is the author George Macdonald’s 1800’s) dedicated bench in Cullen. I’ll google it... have you considered doing a touch point review video of your walking tours? Maybe pause and give info & historical comments for those who are interested in the historical landmarks. I appreciate all the info you gave in this video though... thank you again.
Sandra Guerra thank you for your ever so kind comment. I haven’t considered doing more formal tomorrow but it is something worth considering. Thanks again for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. - Henry
A Church now an antique center and cafe? I'd really like to know what is behind this.
now in 2024 maybe is a nightclub?
Amazing peaceful town regards from Argentina.
I can’t speak for the UK but in the US religiosity is in steady decline.
Thanks for watching and commenting. -H
Home of the Boards of Canada brothers
I'm not familiar. I'll have to google that. -H
I wonder if you stayed in the same cottage I did in 1988 :-D

@@CityWalks Thanks for the link. It's not the same one, would have been funny if it had been. Mine was about 3 rows back near the wall that separates the beach and harbour.
17th video walk 👟👟😂
Great work again! -H
I thought the title said culling the Scottish,, so dissopinted 😂😂😂
Oh no! Hah. -H
oh my god !!!! I lived in Cullen most of my life and the omission of the history of the viaduct and Tony Hetherington home witch you walked past is offensive. The history was lost in your walk, the shops lost in the view, nothing mentioned of the War memorial and the loss ...be ashamed .
Entropy Scott well I guess you get what you pay for. I was a tourist and I do these on my own nickel. Perhaps you should be ashamed of posting such an angry comment instead of being helpful and contributing to a community. I welcome corrections and personal stories, but not angry nasty trolls. Shame on YOU. Also, the people we met in Cullen were all much more welcoming than this commenter.
@@CityWalks
Jeez! What a stupid tirade!
I think this character is just peeved because you didn’t include the place where they stay at loony Bin Hill!
