About Cullen

Cullen is a picturesque village located on the North Sea coast in Moray, Scotland, with a historical background as a former royal burgh of Banffshire. As of the 2001 census, the population was 1,327. The village is notable for its historical connection to Robert the Bruce, whose wife's organs are said to be buried in the old kirk, leading to an annual payment from the king that was upheld in a 2000 legal challenge. This rich history, alongside its coastal charm, makes Cullen a point of interest for those researching planning applications in the area.
