Cullen (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Cuilinn) is a village and former royal burgh in Moray but historically in Banffshire, Scotland, on the North Sea coast.

[2][3] The organs of the wife of Robert the Bruce are said to have been buried in its old kirk after her death in Cullen Castle.

[4] Robert made an annual payment to the village in gratitude for the treatment of his wife's body and its return south for burial.

Cullen received royal burgh status between 1153 and 1214 AD during the reigns of Malcolm IV and William I.

Both William Forbes Skene and George Chalmers identified the Celnius with Cullen Burn.

Travelling from the west to the east he remarked that up to this point, "the country is sadly poor and unimproved".

During the building of the new town, it was temporarily erected at the top of the ancient fort structure that guards the entrance to the Cullen Burn, known as the Castle Hill.

[2][3] Cullen is noticeably busier in summer than winter due to the number of holiday homes owned.
