Cullen viaduct

Cullen, Moray Firth, UK

From the Undiscovered Scotland website:
"Cullen is an extremely attractive town originally built around the mouth of the Burn of Deskford.
When seen from the sea it is framed from behind by higher ground carrying a disused railway line over a series of spectacular viaducts.

"The town is in two parts. Sandwiched between the sea wall on one side, and the curve of the main road on the other is the fishing village, Seatown.
This is a unique collection of a couple of a hundred small stone fishermen's cottages. At the seaward side they turn their ends to the sea,
which on this north-facing coast can be much less placid than implied by [this image]."

Bow Fiddle Rock can be seen at the tip of the peninsula in the background (top right).
