Culkein Drumbeg (Scottish Gaelic: Cùl-Chinn Dhrombaig[1]) is a remote village on the north west coast of Scotland. It is located 0.93 miles (1.50 km) north west of Drumbeg in Assynt, Sutherland, in the Highland council area.
It is a crofting and fishing village, and has a small jetty used by several fishing boats, pleasure boats, and fish farm boats.
Scenes of the short film, Zip 'n Zoo were filmed in Culkein Drumbeg. Many residents appeared as extras.
Its name is to contrast it to Culkein Achnacarnin (Scottish Gaelic: Cùl-Chinn Achadh nan Càrnan), also in Assynt.[1]
