Cullen viaduct, Moray, Scotland - a photo on Flickriver

The Great North of Scotland Railway opened its through line along the Moray coast in April 1886, connecting Portsoy with Elgin. The central section included a number of significant structures including the impressive Cullen Viaduct which looks out to sea over the rooftops of Seatown.

The Grade B listed structure is formed of bullfaced rubble with eight rusticated ashlar arch rings and brick soffits. Work on it started in 1884 under the auspices of engineer P M Barnett. It was necessitated by the Seafield Estate’s refusal to allow the railway to encroach onto its land further south near Cullen House.

The line closed in 1968, and the viaduct is now used as a recreational path, part of the Moray Firth Trail and the Sustrans national cycle path.

Cullen is a village and former royal burgh in Moray but historically in Banffshire, Scotland, on the North Sea coast. The village had a population of 1,327 in 2001. 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.
