CULLEN , a royal, municipal and police
burgh
  of Banffshire, Scotland. Pop. (1901) 1936. It is situated on Cullen Bay, II1 m. W. by N. of Banff and 661 m. N.W. of Aberdeen by the
Great
  North of Scotland railway. Deskford Burn, after a course of 7i m., enters the sea at Cullen, which it divides into two parts, Seatown, the older, and Newtown, dating only from 1822. St Mary's, the parish church, a cruciform structure, was founded by Robert Bruce, whose second wife died at Cullen. The industries include rope and sail making, boat-building, brewing and fishing. The harbour, constructed between 1817 and 1834, though artificial, is one of the best on this coast. About 1 m. to the S. is Cullen
House
 , a seat of the
earl
  of Seafield, which contains some fine works of art. A mile and a half to the W. is the picturesque fishing
village
  of Port Knockie with a deep-sea harbour, built in 1891. On the cliffs, 2 M. to the E., stand the ruins of Findlater Castle, fortified in 1455. From 1638 to 1811, when the title expired, it gave the title of
earl
  to the Ogilvies, whose name was adopted in addition to his own by Sir Lewis Alexander Grant, when he succeeded, as 5th earl of Seafield, to the surviving dignities. Five miles to the E. of Cullen is the thriving fishing town of Portsoy, with a small, safe harbour and a station on the
Great
  North of Scotland railway. Besides the fisheries there is fish-curing and a distillery; and the quarrying of a
pink
 -coloured variety of granite and of Portsoy marble is carried on. Good limestone is also found in the
district
 . Pop. (19o1) 2061.
