Welcome to Cullen Bay

The Cullen Bay Hotel enjoys an outstanding position on a prominent headland 1/4 mile west of the picturesque village of cullen halfway between Inverness and Fraserburgh on the Moray first coast. From its elevated position the hotel commands magnificent panoramas over Cullen Bay with its beautiful sweep of sandy beach and the local 18-hole golf course just across the road. Renowned both for its beautiful setting and its history, the Royal Burgh of Cullen has had fishing as its main industry for at least 500 years, specialising in the export of smoked haddock from which the local dish 'Cullen Skink' soup is made. The picturesque huddle of Cullen's Seatown with its colourful painted houses dates in part from the 17th century.

The most striking feature of the Town, however, is the series of railway viaducts built in 1886. The railway arches frame some of the best views of the town: Seatown; Cullen Burn; the 19th century teahouse in the shape of a temple and Cullen Bay's sandy beach with its three isolated rock stacks known as 'The Three Kings'.
