I love silly place names. To add to Cruden Bay there is also:
1) The village of Dull in Perthshire.
2) A place called Conundrum not far outside Berwick. No-one knows why, apparently.
3) The village of Twatt in Orkney. No, I won't say it...
4) In Sutherland, there are villages called Culkein and Drumbeg, and one called Culkein Drumbeg halfway between for people who couldn't make up their mind...
Anyone know any others? And how about examples beyond Scotland? The best one I know of is Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It was named after a game show...
