Cullen is a small fishing town on the Moray coast, best known for giving its name to one of Scotland's most famous soups.
From a beef broth to a fish soup
Cullen skink started life as a beef dish, made from the scrapings off the front legs of cattle. When beef grew scarce in the late 19th century, the town's fishing families switched to the haddock that was landed in plenty at the harbour, and the smoked fish, potato and leek soup known today was born.
A name with a longer history than the soup
Cullen's own history goes back further still — the town is first mentioned in Scottish records in 962, when a king is said to have died near the mouth of the River Cullen. Its old fishing quarter, Seatown, and the three rocks known as the "Three Kings" out in Cullen Bay, are reminders of that long relationship with the sea.
