While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties.

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.

  • The Bridges of Scotland
    THE BRIDGES OF SCOTLAND By James Macnaughton INTRODUCTION No one who has visited the country described in Hamish McCunn’s evocative tone poem as “The Land of the Mountain and the Flood” can deny that its spectacular and very varied landscapes prove that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. As indicated, the two main elements involved are the ancient mountains and the rainy climate. The latter has resulted in countless thousands of streams and rivers flowing down from the high tops to the sea coasts, and these have had a major effect on the lives of the inhabitants, because trying to cross them, particularly when in spate after heavy rain, could be very dangerous and over the millennia many lives were lost. To ease travel throughout the country fords or ferry boats were used where applicable, but obviously the more permanent and safer alternative was a bridge, and it is these ingenious and vital structures and their effect on Scottish history which I would like to look at in all their varying sizes, shapes and materials, some merely practical, others very beautiful. Bridges were and are so important that many towns and villages were named after them: Carr Bridge, Bridge of Don, Spean Bridge, Bridge of Earn, Coatbridge and most evocative of all – Rumbling Bridge – among many others. Of the thousands existing, I am going to choose a selection of the more interesting, showing how the ingenious and skilful bridge builders overcame seemingly impossible natural obstacles.
