What To Expect

Culross

Our first stop is Culross, where you’ll step into a perfectly preserved 17th-century Scottish village, its cobbled streets and ochre-washed houses looking like something straight out of a period drama. Once a bustling port on the Firth of Forth, Culross boasts a remarkable collection of historic buildings, some dating as far back as the 12th century. As you wander its cobbled streets and admire the ochre-coloured houses. Enjoy 30 minutes to soak up the atmosphere, capture stunning photographs, and experience the character and culture of an authentic traditional Scottish village.
