If you're stumped for ideas on where to head for a spring break this season, and are into your Scottish history, the village of Cullen may be exactly what you are looking for.
The main highlight of Cullen for history buffs is undoubtedly Cullen Old Church, also referred to as Cullen Auld Kirk. A Category A listed building, this parish church dates at least as far back as the 13th century. After this, the King founded a chaplainry at the church to pray for her soul. This was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, the patron saint of Cullen.
Among the highlights of the village is its picturesque sandy beach. Offering beautiful views out across the water and an abundance of marine life—including dolphins—to spot, it is the perfect place to head if the weather is nice.
