Welcome.
Culross is one of Scotland’s best-preserved examples of a 17th and 18th-century burgh, a true step back in time.
Wander the steep, cobbled streets lined with brightly coloured cottages and red-tiled roofs, stretching from the historic Mercat Cross to the ruins of the hilltop abbey. At the heart of the village lies the distinctive ochre-coloured Culross Palace, surrounded by a beautifully restored period garden bursting with herbs and fruit trees.
A visit to Culross is like walking through history, whether you’re here for a day or staying longer, there’s plenty to explore and experience.
