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.

Ron (Moore, the producer) said from the beginning when he realised that we could film in Scotland – which is what he and I both wanted – that it must be as much a character in the show as any of the actual cast members, and it certainly is. It’s just spectacular.” Outlander ‐ opportunies for your business Film tourism is a growing market across the world ‐ 4 in 10 people are inspired to visit an area aer seeing it on film or TV ‐ and with the huge interest in Outlander there are some great opportunies for businesses in Fife to tap into this.

Scottish Medieval Parish Churches: the Evidence from the Dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld

E-mail: [email protected] The great majority of Scottish parish churches owe their present appearance to reconstructions carried out from the later eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. It was the view of the authors of this paper, however, that in many cases those reconstructions had been relatively superficial, and that medieval work might have survived under what could, in some cases, be little more than a modern veneer. To test this view, a survey was carried out of all medieval parish sites within the dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld. The findings from that survey are summarized in this paper. The loss of medieval parish churches in Scotland has been so great that there is a widely held view that too few survive for a detailed understanding of pre-Reformation parochial architecture to be reached. In a paper published in 1939, for example, it could be
