Culkein (also known as Culkein Stoer in order to distinguish it from Culkein Drumbeg up the coast), is a remote, former fishing village, centred on the Bay of Culkein on the west coast of Sutherland. It is found on the north-east coast of the Stoer Head peninsula, in the Assynt area of Sutherland.

The Old Man of Stoer is directly accessible from Culkein, being approximately half a mile north-west of Culkein.
