Cullen (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Cuilinn) is a village and former royal burgh in Moray but historically in Banffshire, Scotland, on the North Sea coast 20 miles (32 kilometres) east of Elgin. The village had a population of 1,327 in 2001.[2][3] The organs of the wife of Robert the Bruce are said to have been buried in its old kirk after her death in Cullen Castle.[4] Robert made an annual payment to the village in gratitude for the treatment of his wife's body and its return south for burial.[5] In 2000, the recent non-payment of this sum by the government was challenged and settled to the village's favour.[6]
