Cullane may mean modern Koln/Cologne - centre for international trade
at the time.
If I recall aright, Mace speaks of Cullen cleft as a type of wood for
lutes.

Subject: [LUTE] Luttes of Cullane and Venice?
All:
The Scottish Customs Tariffs of Oct 31, 1612 lists
"Luttes of Cullane with case" and
"Luttes of Venice with case".
Does anyone know what these terms Cullane and Venice mean?
There is also some information about strings: "catlingis" and
"manikins", and misc other musical instrument details. This document
is
discussed in a very interesting wire-strung harp web page:
