Walk 1

Cullen House & Cullen Auld Kirk (open 13.30 - 16.30 Tuesday & Friday only)

From Grant Street, walk through the main gates and follow the avenue of trees for about 1 - 2 km when you will reach Cullen House.  This huge mansion dates from 1602.  An enormously complicated structure, the house has had various extensions added over the centuries.  During the period 1982 - 85, the house was converted into eleven separate dwellings but in 1987, the building suffered a serious fire and has subsequently been restored.  Bear right, walk to the front of the house and continue as far as the fine, dramatically set West bridge which spans the Cullen Burn.  Now re-trace your steps to the other side of Cullen House.  Ahead you will see Cullen Auld Kirk and a small blue sign Church of Scotland - Cullen - Historic Scottish Kirk.  Go to the door in the wall and enter the church grounds.  Walk to the front of the House.  After visiting the church, leave by the North gate and follow the road (which is walled on both sides) back towards Cullen.  Shortly after passing Cullen primary School, turn left into Binview Road to South Deskford Street and then to Grant Street.

Walk 2

Sunnyside and Findlater Castle.  There is a footpath to the ruin but beware! the castle is a very dangerous place!

From Barnyards of Findlater, follow the sign to the beach.  On the way, visit the Dovecote, originally used for providing fresh meat (young doves) and eggs.  From there, walk to the cliff top facing the castle - a miniature Gibraltar - dating from the 15th Century.  Here you will find a look out point with a plaque giving the history of Findlater Castle.  Follow the track to the west along the cliff top and then down the path to Sunnyside Beach, an enchanting secluded cove with sands and rock pools.  Continue westwards along the footpath or beach, round the cliffs and cross a small burn.  Turn left and follow a narrow path up to a gully to the top.  Just before reaching the top look to your right for a well hidden stone plaque inscribed with the words, Rest Drink and Think.  The plaque was erected over a fresh-water spring in 1895 by a stone hewer named George Winter Lyon but unfortunately, most of the inscription has now worn away.  Follow the rough track beside the field to the remains of Logie House and from there continue towards the caravan site and back to the Playing Field.
