Culen of Scotland (Cuilén mac Induilb) (also called Cuilean, Colin and Culen the Whelp, a tautology since cuilean means "whelp") was king of Scotland from 967 to 971. He was the son of King Indulf, and the third cousin of both Dubh, the previous king, and his successor, Kenneth II. In logic, a tautology is a statement which is true by its own definition. ...

Culen was assassinated in Lothian by Riderch, a sub-king of Strathclyde, in 971. The act was in revenge for Culen's rape of Riderch's daughter and the murder of his brother during a campaign to re-assert control over Strathclyde. This in turn was part of a wider picture of conflict between Culen's family and the Strathclyde nobles, which saw Culen's brother, Eochaid, die the same year. Thus, Culen became the fourth king of Scotland to be murdered in succession.
