Scope and Content Present day Cullen dates from 1822, except for the curved shoreline settlement of Seatown (partly 17th-C). Old Cullen Town, was immediately adjacent to Cullen House, on the line of the woodland curving to lower right edge of image, until the town was largely demolished in 1822. At its north end was a motte on Castle Hill (oval green mound beyond long Seatown Viaduct). At lower right the white, circular building on a knoll is the Temple of Pomona, built as a folly and garden teahouse in 1822, restored 1981. The Seatown or Cullen Burn Viaduct, built due to a requirement to avoid the Cullen House policies, carried the Moray Firth coast railway from 1856 until 1968. The Harbour was completed in 1819 to a design by Thomas Telford, and extended in 1834. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
