Cummingston

Cummingston is located in Moray on the north-east coast of Scotland. It lies on the B9012, sandwiched between the two fishing villages of Hopeman and Burghead. It was known as "the Collach", possibly from Scottish Gaelic an Coileach meaning "eddy".

==Features== Essentially a linear village less than a kilometre in length, only three streets form Cummingston; Main Street, Back Street and the more recently constructed Seaview Road. Where Back Street and Seaview Road join, a lane leads north to a small car park serving the children's play park. A footpath provides onward access down to the beach and connects to the Moray Coastal Trail network. It also lends access to the wells which provided the village's water supply in times past. Halfway through the village, on the north side of Main Street lies a war memorial in commemoration of local men who fought in the two world wars. There are around 85 houses in the village and significantly almost all have names instead of numbers. Cummingston's raised location means the majority of the properties have a view of the Moray Firth.
