It was founded in the 13th century by Malcolm, Earl of Fife, as a daughter-house of Kinloss. After the Protestant Reformation (1560), the east end of the monastic church became the parish church of Culross. The structures in care comprise the south wall of the nave, the cloister garth, the surviving southern half of the cloister's west range and the lower parts of the east and south ranges. The 17th-century manse now occupies the NW corner of the cloister, with the garth forming the manse’s garden. The east end of the abbey church is not in state care but continues in use as a parish church. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview: 6th century - tradition holds that Culross is the site of an early Christian community headed by St Serf, and of which St Kentigern was a member.

  • NATIONAL TRUST for SCOTLAND MEDIA INVITE Beautiful, Historic Covers Unveiled at Culross Palace
    NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND MEDIA INVITE Beautiful, historic covers unveiled at Culross Palace Dedicated volunteers have hand-crafted a series of stunning textiles for the National Trust for Scotland’s Culross Palace. The bedspread, bed curtains and door panel will be unveiled at 10.30am on Wednesday 5 April. YOU ARE INVITED TO SEND A PHOTOGRAPHER/ REPORTER. The Culross Needlework Group made the beautiful pieces for the Principle Stranger’s bedrooom at the historic palace which is owned and cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, the charity that conserves and promotes Scotland’s heritage. This room would have been reserved for the most important visitors to the palace with private access to both the palace interior, its courtyard and town beyond. Made from hand-woven linen and crewel wools that would have been used in the 17th century, the design reflects the patterns and colours of the bed hangings which were taken from original slips dating to the 1600s. The detailed designs were created and sewn by hand, taking the eight-strong group three years to complete. Property Manager Elaine Longmuir said: “These stunning textiles are an amazing addition to the palace for the 2017 season. It has taken years of skill and dedication from our wonderful volunteers to create them and we cannot thank them enough. Inspired by the original covers from the 1600s, they are more authentic and will help visitors understand what it would have been like to visit Culross Palace, all those years ago.” Culross Needlework Group have been generously supporting the work of the National Trust for Scotland for many years, creating beautiful textiles to enhance the visitor experience at its properties.

  • Club, Community and Coal: a Case Study of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club in the 1980S James Canavan MA Sports History and Cu
    Club, Community and Coal: A Case Study of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club in the 1980s James Canavan MA Sports History and Culture De Montfort University August, 2015 Acknowledgements Over the past year I have been overwhelmed by the support and guidance by many people associated with Dunfermline Athletic Football Club. From an initial, exploratory post on fans’ forum dafc.net in late July, 2014, I was immediately contacted by Donald Adamson and Jason Barber, who offered to help. Through Jason I was able to interview Jim Leishman and Ian Westwater, and Donald provided me with a high level of information about the club, in addition to the links with coal mining. I cannot thank Donald and Jason enough for their assistance. The following people have also provided help and information along the way: Gordon Baird, Alan Bairner, Kenny Cowan, Joe Graham, Jim Leishman, Duncan Simpson, John Simpson, and Ian Westwater. Every single person is a credit to themselves and to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club for giving up their free time to help me with this dissertation. I would also like to apologise to the staff at the temporary library at St Margaret’s House for my inability to work the microfiche readers, and to thank them for their help. At DMU, Matt Taylor has been very helpful in terms of the structure of the dissertation, and Neil Carter provided initial guidance. Lastly, I would like to thank my Father, Frank Canavan, for being a constant inspiration to complete this project. Since his death in 2009, I have visited Dunfermline every year, taking in a Pars match as a personal tribute.
