Buy freshly grown seasonal herbs, fruit and vegetables from the organic Palace Garden.
Only assistance dogs are permitted inside Culross Palace and the Palace Garden.
We welcome children of all ages, but we ask that buggies are stored in our safe place while you explore the property.
Please be aware that honeybees are kept in hives at this site.
There are a number of local shops and galleries for you to visit.

Facilities & access
- There are cobbled streets throughout the town.
- Culross Palace, Study and Town House are unsuitable for visitors with limited mobility due to uneven surfaces and spiral staircases, but the palace garden may be suitable, with difficulty, for wheelchairs.
We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
