Bin of Cullen

Bin of Cullen is a mountain in Moray that rises to about 320 meters with a distinctive dome-shaped crown. The bare summit offers wide views across the northern Scottish coastline and surrounding moorland.

This mountain has served as a navigation landmark for seafarers and travelers crossing northern Scotland for centuries. Its elevated position made it a vital reference point for finding routes across the region.

The mountain represents a central gathering location for regional outdoor activities, drawing residents from surrounding communities for regular hiking excursions.

The walking route starts from a forest track near coordinates NJ491632, with parking near the Seafield Estate entrance. Choose days with clear weather to enjoy the coastal views from the summit.

The lower slopes are covered with a Scots pine plantation where red squirrels, pine martens, and crossbills live. These animals are quite rare to spot, and many visitors are surprised to encounter them during the walk.
