The Dardanelles

The Dardanelles video features original music from Cruden Bay Life inspired by the stories published on this page. https://crudenbay.life/the-dardanells/. The Dardanelles is more than just a scenic rest stop – it also holds historical significance. The name takes its origins from soldiers returning home from the 1st World War, having served during the Dardanelles Campaign on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Here you’ll also find the Tryggvie Gran memorial, commemorating the pioneering Norwegian aviator who, in 1914, completed the very first flight across the North Sea, from Cruden Bay to Norway.
