The Heritage Centre is managed by Cullen, Deskford & Portknockie Heritage Group.
Visit the centre to view a scale model of the Old Town of Cullen. This exhibit brings to life the Old Town of Cullen with hand-made models of the buildings and properties with amazing attention to detail. You have to see it in person to appreciate what an amazing exhibit it is telling the story of Cullen’s history. The model includes not just the Old Town but also Cullen House and the Adam Bridge, with all the garden and industrial structures along the valley from the Old Mills right through to The Temple.
