Caption: Culross (pronounced Coo-riss), is like no other village in Fife. It’s charming and quiet cobbled streets, along with its collection of unique, well preserved buildings make it a fascinating place to spend a few hours wandering the streets.
The town is owned by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) who have been instrumental in helping preserve the town’s historical buildings.
Every time I visit Culross I get feeling of having been transported back in time to the 16th Century. This effect is largely due to the magnificent work done by the National Trust for Scotland over the years, particularly in the painstaking restoring and caring for Culross Palace which is now closed due to Coronavirus pandemic.

Caption: Did you know that:
Culross produced more salt than anywhere else in Scotland. It was the profits from these industries that Sir George Bruce put into the construction of his mansion – the building that became known as the Culross Palace.

Caption: The impact of coronavirus on the National Trust of Scotland has been devastating this year. They have no visitors; their cafés and shops lie empty; and they had to cancel all their events and holiday rentals. The vital conservation work has been put on hold.
National trust of Scotland expect to lose £28 million in income this year, meaning their ability to protect Scotland’s special places like in Culross now and for the future is threatened. Therefore they have launched an emergency 🆘 appeal.
