    Tips

    November 17, 2020

    Certainly the most conspicuous and dramatic object on the Moray coast, Bow Fiddle Rock is an icon. Steeply folded layers of Cullen quartzite form a natural, idiosyncratic arch of staggering beauty. From certain angles, it's easy to see how the formation earned its bow and fiddle moniker. When waves crash below a moody sky and fulmars circle above, there are few finer scenes on the Scottish coast.

      The Bow Fiddle rock is said to resemble a bow and fiddle. An interesting sea arch that can be easily seen from the beach and costal path. Short walk from Portknockie, or parking at Cullen and walking along the beach for a longer outing. Good paths.
