Scottish Places of Interest. Culross.

Let’s be honest, Culross has always been in the spotlight. Once you see her, it becomes obvious why. Situated on the shores of River Forth (which looks more like the sea), she’s got one enviable location. But ever since the release of the TV show Outlander, Culross’ popularity has skyrocketed.  

All around you are whitewashed, red-tiled buildings. The rusty-coloured Culross Palace will draw your eye – even if you’re not aware of its significance straight away. Not a literal ‘palace’, but this impressive house is a labyrinth of small rooms connected by passageways. Inside is filled with antique furniture and curious decorations, while outside is a luscious garden that featured (among other areas in town) in Outlander.  

If you visit on our 1-day Outlander Adventure (either from Edinburgh or Glasgow), make sure you take the time to wander the cobbled streets and admire the historic beauty of the mercat cross which not only marks the heart of town but historically represented the right to hold a regular market or fair.
