It’s a very grand building and while not quite as statuesque as the palace it’s just as interesting with a small museum, an art gallery, and a local-crafts gift shop inside.I really enjoyed looking inside the Town House as it’s very atmospheric and it’s got a surprisingly interesting history. Fabulous!Our guide Conner was absolutely amazing! The tearoom offers a welcome rest with a fine selection of meals and great coffee, and the prices are reasonable too.

Things to do at Culross Once at Culross you’ll find a large car park facing the Firth of Forth which looks out across a railway line (no longer serviced by a train station, unfortunately) where you can see the remains of the original pier that once served as Culross’s main harbour.

The combination of his knowledge of facts/history and humour were delightful and added so much more to the experience then what we had expected for the day. Definitely recommended.Next in a tour of Culross comes the Town House which was built in 1626 and expanded in 1873 with an enormous clock tower.

In addition to being the former home of the Bishop of Dunblane it was also used as a prison for condemned witches prior to their execution, with the witches supposedly locked away in a secluded room up in the attic somewhere.I can only imagine the stories the walls of this building must have to tell and I’d love to explore all the parts that are off-limits to tourists, but time was marching on during my visit and I needed to get moving to re-create a scene from Outlander with my other half…From the Town House, you’ll follow steep cobbled streets lined with white-harled houses that lead to the village’s Mercat cross – a stone monument that was used for trading cattle and other goods back in the 16th to 18th centuries.The cross is situated in a jewel of a village square surrounded by tall townhouses and low cottages roofed with a distinctive red slate, and it’s here where Jamie Fraser met Claire after her visit to Geillis Duncan in the show.That will make absolutely no sense to anyone who’s not a fan of Outlander, but if you are you’ll recognise several of the buildings in this living museum and it’s a must-visit site if you ever decide to do an Outlander pilgrimage.Once you’ve explored the square you’ll find the final highlight of a visit to Culross – Culross Abbey – up the narrow street of Tanhouse Brae which leads away from the coastline towards the highest point of the village.The abbey is believed to have been founded in the early 1200s and is divided into two very distinct sections, with the medieval ruins on one side and the newer Kirk located directly behind it.There’s not much of the old abbey that’s still standing, but it does have a lookout platform that offers amazing views across the Forth, while the pillars of a once-monumental cloister can be found in the grounds just around the corner.The newer section has more to view and heading inside the Kirk you’ll find a collection of beautiful stained glass windows, monuments and transept chapels, along with a few information boards.I recommend you take the time to read these boards as they’re quite interesting and they’ve got some fascinating tales to tell, like the fact that Culross is believed to be the birthplace of St. Mungo who later went on to have a shrine devoted to him which over time grew into the city of Glasgow.It’s just one of the many fascinating things to discover in the quaint coastal village of Culross, and if you’ve got any interest in Scotland’s heritage I reckon you owe it to yourself to take a walk around this remarkable historic site in the Kingdom of Fife.From Glasgow: Take the M80 north and merge onto the M876.
