Ghosts: Culross Abbey
Location Report:
Culross Abbey is a fine example of a former Cistercian Abbey in Culross. It was headed by the Abbot or Commendator of Culross. It is still used as the local parish church by the Church of Scotland.
Culross is a hot bed for paranormal activity, with not only the abbey having sightings of the traditional ghostly monks, but also many reports from the village itself which is steeped in such history of black magic and witchcraft.

CULROSS
A walk through Culross in the company of Scotland's Online Tourist Guide.
Culross, a must see village and former royal burgh in Scotland.
Culross is an exceptionally beautiful, historical village in Scotland. It served as a port city on the Firth of Forth and is believed to have been founded by Saint Serf during the 6th century.
A legend states that when the British princess (and future saint) Teneu, daughter of the king of Lothian, became pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo.
During the 20th century, it became recognised that Culross contained many unique historical buildings and the National Trust for Scotland has been working on their preservation and restoration since the 1930s.
Notable buildings in the burgh include Culross Town House, formerly used as a courthouse and prison, the 16th century Culross Palace, 17th century Study, and the remains of the Cistercian house of Culross Abbey, founded 1217. The tower, transepts and choir of the Abbey Church remain in use as the parish church, while the ruined claustral buildings are cared for by Historic Environment Scotland. Just outside the town is the 18th-century Dunimarle Castle, built by the Erskine family to supersede a medieval castle.
Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald spent much of his early life in Culross, where his family had an estate. There is now a bust in his honour outside the Culross Town House. He was the first Vice Admiral of Chile.
The war memorial was erected in 1921 to a design by Sir Robert Lorimer.
Several motion pictures have used Culross as a filming location, including Kidnapped (1971), The Little Vampire (2000), A Dying Breed (2007), The 39 Steps (2008), and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In September 2013, the Starz television series, Outlander, started filming in Culross for its premiere in August 2014.
If you are coming to Scotland, come and see this wonderful place full of cobblestones and tiny, ancient houses.
Culross, Scotland
The town of Culross, pronounced Coo-ros, is a former royal burgh in Fife, Scotland. According to the 2006 estimate, the village has a population of 395. Originally the town served as a port city on the Firth of Forth and is believed to have been founded by Saint Serf during the 6th century.
A legend states that when the British princess (and future saint) Theneu or Enoch, daughter of the King of Lothian, fell pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo (d. 612).
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the town was a centre of the coal mining industry. Sir George Bruce of Carnock, who built the splendid 'Palace' of Culross and whose elaborate family monument stands in the north transept of the Abbey church, established at Culross, the first coal mine in the world to extend under the sea, in 1575. The mine worked what is now known as the Upper Hirst coal seam, with ingenious contrivances to drain the constant leakage from above. This mine was considered one of the marvels of the British Isles in the early 17th century, until it was destroyed in a storm, in 1625.
During the 20th century, it became recognised that Culross contained many unique historical buildings and the National Trust for Scotland has been working on their preservation and restoration since the 1930s.
Notable buildings in the burgh include Culross Town House, formerly used as a courthouse and prison, the 16th century Culross Palace, 17th century Study, and the remains of the Cistercian house of Culross Abbey, founded 1217. The tower, transepts and choir of the Abbey Church remain in use as the parish church, while the ruined claustral buildings are cared for by Historic Scotland. Just outside the town is the 18th-century Dunimarle Castle, built by the Erskine family to supersede a medieval castle.

국토의 98%가 농촌으로 이루어진 스코틀랜드의 전형적인 풍경이다. 그 속에는 어떤 사람들이 살고 있을까? 내가 처음으로 들른 곳은 국경도시 멜로즈. 이곳에 유서 깊은 역사유적이 있기 때문이다. 뼈대만 앙상하게 남은 이 웅장한 건축물은 멜로즈 대수도원이다. 기둥의 양식으로 봐서 중세 고딕 양식의 건축물이다. 1136년에 처음 세워진 이 사원은 한때 대단한 규모를 자랑했다고 한다. 그러나 불행히도 이 사원은 잉글랜드와의 거듭된 전쟁으로 인해 철저히 파괴되어 뼈대만 남아있다. 사람들이 기념촬영을 하고 있는 곳으로 따라가 봤다. 스코틀랜드의 민족영웅 로버트 브루스의 심장이 묻혀있는 곳이다. ‘자유를 얻지 못하면 영혼이 편히 쉴 수 없다’는 묘지석의 구절이 가슴에 와 닿았다.

This is because the ruins of history here. Skeleton only remaining building is a magnificent ensemble in Melrose Abbey. Looking at the form of a pillar of medieval Gothic architecture. The twenty-four won first built in 1136 that was once proud of the great scale. Unfortunately, this temple remains only the skeleton is completely destroyed due to repeated wars with England. According to where the people saw that a commemorative photograph. It is where the heart of the Scottish national hero Robert the Bruce is buried.

5043 Passing Culross, 28th May 2012
GWR Caslte class loco, 5043 Earl Of Mount Edgcumbe, is seen a very long way from home, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, passing the historic town of Culross. She had worked from Tyseley to Edinburgh the previous day and returned the following day. (The caption should say Sun 27th May of course)
I should add that this video is a true collaboration. I was stood at the end of the jetty, Laurie was nearer the line, and TWR was nearer the power station for the final shot
Because of extreme fire risk over the upland moors, a diesel loco coupled behind the steam provided most of the motive power on Saturday and Monday. The situation wasn't so bad around Fife, and the Castle was allowed to do more of the work herself.
This is an excerpt from Steam Age Pictures vol. 56, Mainline 2012, Great Western Locos. For more information, see

Ruins Of The Abbey Culross Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of the ruins of the Abbey on Outlander visit to Culross, Fife. The abbey was founded in 1217 by King Malcolm I, Mormaer or Earl of Fife, and was first colonised by monks from Kinloss Abbey. Culross may have been chosen to establish an abbey because this was the birthplace of Saint Mungo. It is evident that the abbey was built over the earlier Pictish church supposedly founded by Saint Serf in the 6th century, as witnessed by the presence in the ruined Cistercian church of early medieval carved stones and from a ninth century reference to a church of St Serf at Culross, Cuileann Ros, in a Gaelic list of the mothers of various saints. A Ley tunnel is said to exist beneath the abbey, and within is said to sit a man in a golden chair waiting to give valuable treasures to anyone who succeeds in finding him. According to one story, many years ago a blind piper decided to try and upon entering at Newgate with his dog he proceeded to search and could be heard playing his pipes as far as the West Kirk, three quarters of a mile away. Eventually the dog emerged into the daylight, however the piper was never seen, or heard of, again.
Culross, The Royal Burgh in Fife Scotland

Outlander Location - Culross ~ Scotland....
The town of Culross, pronounced Coo-ros, (Gaelic: Cuileann Ros) is a former royal burgh in Fife, Scotland. Originally a port city on the Firth of Forth, the town is said to have been founded by Saint Serf (fl. 6th century?), and to have been the birthplace of Saint Mungo.
A legend states that when the British princess (and future saint) Theneu or Enoch, daughter of the King of Lothian, became pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo (d. 612).
During the 20th century, it became recognised that Culross contained many unique historical buildings and the National Trust for Scotland has been working on their preservation and restoration since the 1930s.
Notable buildings in the burgh include Culross Town House, formerly used as a courthouse and prison, the 16th century Culross Palace, 17th century Study, and the remains of the Cistercian house of Culross Abbey, founded 1217. The tower, transepts and choir of the Abbey Church remain in use as the parish church, while the ruined claustral buildings are cared for by Historic Scotland. Just outside the town is the 18th-century Dunimarle Castle, built by the Erskine family to supersede a medieval castle.

Clan Graham
Clan Graham is a Scottish clan that claimed territories in the Highland and lowlands of Scotland. According to legend the Grahams were descendant of “The Graeme” who was said to be a great Caledonian chief who drove the Romans from Scotland. Most scholars believe that the Grahams were either of Norman or Flemish Descent. The first record of the Graham surname came in 1128 when Sir William de Graham assisted David I in his claim to the Scottish Crown.
The motto of the clan is Ne oublie which means Forget Not. The clans crest features a falcon killing a stork.
The historic seat of the clan is Mugdock Castle located in the parish of Straathblane. The lands were acquired by the Grahams in the 13th century and the castle was build sometime in the 14th century. The castle remained the seat of the clan until the late 16 hundreds when the chief purchased Buchanan Castle. Buchanan Castle remains the seat of the clan even though it was sold in 1925.
The Clan Graham Society is run by an elected six member council who oversees the activities of the clan. Membership is open to anyone who is a decendant of the Scottish Clan or one of its septs. The society publishes a newsletter called The Clan Graham News, six times a year.
Tourists can visit the Mugdock castle where the remaining tower of the castle contains a museum with restored rooms and info panels about the family.
The Royal Burgh of Culross, Fife, Scotland
It is believed that Culross was founded by St Serf, and is located in the south west of Fife, overlooking the Firth of Forth.
Wandering around this charming town is about as close to stepping back in time to the 16th century as possible. The whitewashed, red-tiled buildings are well preserved, such as the Town House, where witches were tried and held while awaiting execution.
The nearby ochre-coloured Culross Palace, built by wealthy coal merchant George Bruce in the late 16th century, is in fact not a palace but a grand and impressive house. You can explore the small rooms and connecting passageways, with wonderful painted ceilings, pine panelling, antique furniture and curios. The garden is planted with grasses, herbs and vegetables of the period.
Take a stroll up a cobbled alleyway known as Back Causeway, which is complete with a raised central aisle that was formerly used by noblemen to separate them from the 'commoners'. This leads up behind the magnificent Town House to the Study, a restored house, built in 1610, that takes its name from the small room at the top of the corbelled projecting tower.

Cambuskenneth Abbey
Cambuskenneth Abbey is a ruined Augustinian monastery located on an area of land enclosed by a meander of the River Forth near Stirling in Scotland. Although the abbey is largely disused, the neighbouring village of Cambuskenneth continues to be inhabited.
Cambuskenneth Abbey was built by order of King David I around the year 1140. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it was initially known as the Abbey of St Mary of Stirling and sometimes simply as Stirling Abbey. The major street leading down the castle hill from the royal residences in Stirling Castle to the abbey was called St. Mary's Wynd, a name it retains.
Cambuskenneth was one of the more important abbeys in Scotland, due in part to its proximity to the Royal Burgh of Stirling, a leading urban centre of the country and sometime capital. Royalty, including English King Edward and later Scottish King Robert the Bruce, prayed regularly at the abbey. Bruce held his parliament there in 1326 to confirm the succession of his son David.
In 1486 Margaret of Denmark died at nearby Stirling Castle and was buried at the abbey. In 1488 her husband King James the Third was murdered at the Battle of Sauchieburn and his body was brought to Cambuskenneth Abbey for burial. The elaborate marker of his grave, which was funded by Queen Victoria, is still visible at one end of the church.
The abbey fell into disuse during the Scottish Reformation. By 1559 there were few monks remaining there, and the abbey was closed and most of the buildings looted and burned. The abbey was placed under the jurisdiction of the military governor of Stirling Castle, who had much of the stonework removed and used in construction projects in the castle.
Of the once wealthy abbey, mostly only knee-high ruins and exposed foundations remain. Only the 13th century campanile is intact, following an extensive renovation in 1859. The abbey was acquired by the crown in 1908, and it is presently managed by Historic Scotland. The abbey is open to visitors during the summer months. Visitors can enter the base room of the campanile; the stairs to the upper floors are locked, but are opened for visitors on occasion.
