Old Photograph Cullen Moray Scotland

Old photograph of Cullen, Moray, Scotland. The organs of the wife of Robert the Bruce are said to have been buried in the old kirk here after her death in the area. 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. The village is noted for Cullen Skink, a traditional soup made from smoked haddock, milk, potato and onion.

Old Photograph Grant Street Cullen Scotland

Old photograph of a shop, people, cars, houses and cottage on Grant Street, Cullen, Scotland. This Scottish fishing village located on the North Sea coast 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. Robert Burns stayed overnight at, what was then, the old town of Cullen in 1787 during his tour of the Highlands.
