Royal Burgh of Culross

Restored late-16th century village

Culross in Fife

These days Culross is a pretty obscure backwater that few Scots have heard of, but in the late-16th and early-17th centuries this was a thriving village with mines, iron workings and a brisk trade with the Netherlands.

In the following centuries things declined, but in the 1930s it was rediscovered and restored - down to the last detail: even the types of plants in the gardens are from the heyday period.
