The ward covers the contrasting towns of Keith and Cullen in Moray, Scotland, straddling inland agricultural country and a rugged north‑east coastline. Keith sits on the River Isla and has long been a small market and railway town, with the nearby Strathisla Distillery and links into the whisky country of Speyside shaping much of the local economy alongside farming.
Cullen is a compact coastal village known for its harbour, sandy bay and the dramatic sea stack Bow Fiddle Rock; it’s famous for the soup known as Cullen skink and draws visitors for its scenery and seafood. Both communities have a mix of historic buildings, local traditions and tourism alongside quieter residential life, with heritage rail links out towards Dufftown and a strong sense of local identity.
