About this place
Step into the past along the cobbled streets of a picturesque village with its own ochre-coloured palace
The streets of Culross have appeared many times in the hit US TV series Outlander.
Explore Culross Palace, with its tiny rooms, connecting passageways and painted ceilings.
Buy freshly grown seasonal herbs, fruit and vegetables from the organic palace garden.
Wander along charming, peaceful streets which were once full of the hustle and bustle of a thriving 17th-century port on the River Forth.
Culross is Scotland’s most complete example of a burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries.
White-harled houses with red-tiled roofs line the steep cobbled streets which run from the market cross to the hilltop abbey. In the centre is the ochre-coloured palace with its beautifully reconstructed period garden, complete with herbs, fruit and vegetables. Get a sense of what it would have been like to live in Culross Palace in its prime, with original painted woodwork and beautifully restored 17th- and 18th-century interiors.
It’s little wonder that Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland – or that it’s so often used as a film and television location.
We take a look at how our supporters have helped our work in maintaining the character of this special 17th-century village that is still home to a 21st-century community.
Join us for a look at the things our team love most about Culross Palace and its beautiful surroundings in one of Scotland’s most picturesque villages.
