The former Royal Burgh of Culross is steeped in history and its traditional buildings and cobbled streets have changed little over the centuries. Built in the 1500s by the wealthy coal merchant George Bruce, mustard-coloured Culross Palace and Gardens boast plenty of stories and interesting objects to discover. Fans of Outlander will recognise many places in Culross as settings from the TV series, including Mercat Cross, the historic herb garden and rooms in the palace itself. Don’t miss the famous dumpy hens roaming freely in the palace garden.
