Today Cullivoe is best known for its traditional music, its seafood production, and local beauty spots such as the Sands of Breckon and the spectacular views across the Bluemull Sound to the island of Unst.
A 90 minute car journey and a ferry crossing from Lerwick, Cullivoe is inhabited by around 250 people, a diverse population of fishermen, crofters, talented musicians, seafood producers, haulage operators and prominent artists. Among the characteristics shared by all are a pride in the area, and a welcoming spirit extended to visitors.
The modern harbour at Cullivoe provides good shelter in all wind directions, and caters year round for the modern North Atlantic fishing fleet, and the local salmon and mussel farmers. During the Tall Ships 2011 Cruise in Company, we will be holding a local festival, and hope that some of the Tall Ships fleet, as well as many shore based visitors, will grace our harbour with their presence.
