Defiantly worth the walk upward to be rewarded with a fascinating exploration of the Abbey, its ruins and the beautiful parish church. So much history here and lots of information available. Great views from the top and loved just wandering through those narrow streets. Humbling tributes to the fallen at the parish church...

What a treat. Lots of high quality, original and imaginitive art, lino prints, pottery, woven goods and jewellery. Very helpful staff and a few treats that would delight the Outlander fans too. Well worth a visit.

Culross is a stunning little village. We visited on a crystal clear sunny day, the coastal scenery is beautiful and we were really impressed by a place we hadn't really heard of before. It's an easy drive from Edinburgh and has such a historic atmosphere and well kept buildings it really should be more popular than it is. It's actually a good thing that it wasn't overly busy as the relaxed atmosphere suits the place. The whole village is a credit to the National Trust for Scotland as it strikes the right balance of preservation and tourism. There is plenty of free parking, the play park is fantastic for kids and the toilets are open and well maintained. Culross Abbey is also worth the walk up the hill and is free to visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Possibly one of the first places you should visit ( and especially if you are going to the palace to get your ticket ) the ladies in the shop are friendly and helpful and have much knowledge - and there are a variety of trinkets and bits and bobs that may be of interest for gifts and keepsakes.

Mr. Graham’s images are simply magical. The metallic process he uses enliven each image to the point of creating wonderment for the viewer. There were too many I fell in love with to choose one, so I chose five! Make it point to add the charming Village of Culross to your itinerary to visit the Outlander and Beyond Collection as well as several filming locations for the hit series, Outlander. When you get back home, you can order more through his elegant website which gives you an up close and personal experience of each and every image. Safe travels!

Make sure you have your camera with you when you visit Culross because it really is a timeless village, and the area round the Mercat Cross is a photographer’s dream, with old buildings, cobbled streets and the old Mercat Cross. Fabulous.

Walking around Culross I stopped once again and reflected how great this man had been in his time .Commanding the Sloop 'Speedy' on his 13-month cruise, Cochrane captured, burned, or drove ashore 53 ships. Getting the title of "le loup de mer" (The Sea Wolf), by Napolean. His exploits as the Admiral of the Chilean,Peruvian and Brazilian Navies helped rout the Spanish and Portugeuse from South America .His exploits on ships when he commanded them made him as famous in Nelson in his day .Thomas Cochrane, tenth Earl of Dundonald (1775-1860) a long and distinguished career more famous in South America than Britain
