Cullen
Six miles west of Portsoy is the town of Cullen, dramatically sited beneath a series of striking 19th-century railway viaducts and fronting an impressive sweep of sand.
Walk east from Cullen harbour along the coast for a few miles to the lovely, deserted beach at Sunnyside, overlooked by the lemming-like ruin of Findlater Castle. There's another great beach at Sandend, between Portsoy and Cullen.
