Brief description of site

The designed landscape at Cullen House includes informal late-18th-century parkland, a 19th-century shrubbery on the banks of the Deskford Burn and a walled garden dating from the same period.

Brief history of site

Cullen House has had long associations with the Earls of Seafield. The late-18th-century informal landscape replaced an earlier formal layout. Designs were drawn up by Thomas White between 1789 and 1790. In the early-19th century the old village of Cullen was moved to create a parkland setting for the remodelled house. The house is now sub-divided into luxury homes.
