Beautiful place to spend a day, though check to make sure the Palace is open on the day you plan to visit. I went on a during the week and was disappointed to find it closed. Culross is so full of history, its like stepping back in time with the cobbled streets and old buildings. They had been filming in Culross the week before my visit and were busy repainting the houses back to the present days colour. Anyone who likes history will love this place. There is a coffee shop which makes wonderful coffee and homemade cakes. They made us feel very welcome. I do not know if there is wheelchair access or lifts in the Palace as I have already mentioned it was closed the day I visited.

The one down side for me was the long wait to get tickets to get in. This is an old building and the shop can't be any bigger. Really friendly and informative guides. Fantastic old building and outhouses and the star for me was the Herb Garden with shell paths and fresh produce to purchase.

Went to the Palace whilst staying in Scotland. Arrived before the Palace was open but we're able to wander around the walled garden whilst waiting for the Palace to open. The garden is set on a very steep slope with steps and paths to enable you to explore it all. The garden is set out in a very informal manner but has a large variety of plants including fruit, vegetables and lots of flowers. It was very interesting to walk round and had wonderful views from the top across the estuary and garden.The Palace itself was interesting, beginning with a video showing the history of the person who had it built and the industry he brought to the area. The rest of the Palace was a mix of many rooms, accessed by lots of steep steps. It had furnishings and decoration of the original period plus guides happy to explain and inform and printed guides for each room to look at. These last were available in several languages.A fascinating place to visit complemented by helpful, friendly and informative staff.Whilst there we took advantage of the town tour, included in the admission charge. A man took us through the town explaining about how it came about, the lives of those who lived and worked there etc. we also went into the Old Town House and another house where we could see how people lived etc.

Definitely a must do. You can spend your time walking around the Village. The houses are carefully preserved as it was back during 16th century and fully functional.You can sign up for the Palace tour for 10 £ but if you find that too expensive. You can walk around. Recommend you walk up the pathway all the way to the Top behind the palace .You get a good view if the village & beautiful scenes.Take a train from Edinburgh Waverley to Dunfermline . Probably around 5 £ return fares with Railcard. Then walk to the Bus station at Dunfermline Train station probably around 15 mins walk with some short trek up hill. Once there you can take Bus 8 to Culross . Stops directly opposite the Palace. The bus plies every hourly thereabout. Enjoy!

This really is stepping back in time. It’s a very atmospheric old building from the early 17th ct. Lots of low roofs and narrow steps and intricate ceiling paintings throughout. They are rather faded though. It still has the look and feeling of that period. Sadly, no photo’s allowed inside. There are guides to give you information. The garden is wonderful with lots of wildlife, although it is hilly with lots of steps, then you go into the smaller north “wing”/ tower where there are a few rooms to explore. This was used for guests and it was over the stables. Your ticket also includes a 45 minute walking tour of the village, and I recommend this. You get to see inside the Town House, which was used as a courthouse and jail. Witches were tried here although if convicted they were sent to Edinburgh for execution. Culross village is like a time capsule with so many 17th ct buildings that have been renovated by NTS and now have private residents. You can walk up the hill to see the Mercat Cross and then up to the remains of the abbey. Culross was also one of the locations for the TV drama "Outlander" (on Starz in the US). it's very atmospheric here.

The Culross Palace was the late 16th century home of Sir George Bruce, a local merchant and engineer who developed an innovative (and successful) technique for underwater coal mining. Sir George Bruce also did a lot of trade with the "Low Countries" (e.g., Belgium, Netherlands), some of the influences of which can be seen in his home. Note: I didn't get a chance to see the inside of the home in person, as it was closed while I was here.The trust that manages the village has recreated a 17th century garden behind the Culross Palace. It's very nicely done, and a beautiful garden in its own right (reproduction or not). They sell produce from the garden (which you can pay for voluntarily even after closing hours).

We visited Culross Palace on the Bank Holiday weekend when the sun was shining. What a fabulous building and garden right in the middle of Culross town.We took the audio guide and spent about an hour and a half wandering round both the garden and the palace. Perhaps if the weather hadn't beem so fantastic we would have spent less time in the garden, but nevertheless it was a great trip.The lady in the gift shop was very knowledgeable and helpful and she made a good first impression.For me the garden was the highlight and the views from the top of the terrace are outstanding. I could have stayed there all day.If you are in the area do not miss this lovely piece of history!Avoid the tearoom Bessies, the staff are rude and grumpy. there are plenty of alternative coffee shops, which we discovered afterwards. Too late for us!

Culross is a lovely small burgh which maintains its old buildings and meandering wynds. The Palace is a beautifully preserved building of some stature. It features remnants of the original wall and ceiling paintings which had been popular in the 16th and 17th Centuries.Attendants in most of the rooms are knowledgeable and friendly, the information cards are useful. There is an audio guide available too, although we didn't bother with one.The garden is fascinating even for a non-gardener like me, the vistas over the Forth are stunning. It's just a shame that two of the sights are Longannet and Grangemouth!There are dressing-up outfits at the top of the house, which is a nice touch.The guides in the shop will also arrange for you to join a town walk, too, should you wish.

This is a wonderful place to visit and the National Trust has done a good job in keeping this piece of Scottish history alive. Sir George Bruce was an early entrepreneur who pioneered coal mining and shipping in this part of Scotland. His home or "palace" is well preserved with furnishings, paintings and murals on walls and some ceilings. There is even a "safe room" with iron doors where the owners could retreat in times of danger. One of the people on our tour said that's probably where the idea of Scrooge McDuck's money bin came from. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and there is an introductory video on arrival that outlines the history of the area, and the rise and fall of the industry here. The gardens are lovely, and there is even a "wee" gift shop on the way out. Well worth the visit.
