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...

Ochre covered walls, tiny windows and lots of nostalgia! Nice little museum and narrow streets to wander.

Located at the back of the Culross Palace this is a stunning kitchen garden set on 5 levels with its own climate . This is December and I found Blackberries on level 3 ! They have chickens in a large open enclosure and a pigeon house . Basically it is a fruit and vegetable garden filled with the veg ,and fruit trees that were grown at that time and is best viewed in the summer . The Palace is closed at this time of year but the garden is open from 1.00 to 4.00pm mid week . It is not wheelchair friendly except for the ground level .The best views of the town and garden are from the top level

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.

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.
