CULLEN - The Moray Village Famous For Cullen Skink - Scotland Walking Tour | 4K | 60FPS

Cullen is a village and former royal burgh in Moray but historically in Banffshire, Scotland, on the North Sea coast 20 miles (32 kilometres) east of Elgin. The village had a population of 1,327 in 2001, 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. In 2000, the 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 for its former railway bridges, two of which are now part of the national cycle network. These bridges were required to be built, 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.
