Royal Burgh of Culross | Historic Culross is one of Scotland's most picturesque towns.
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.

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.

OUTLANDER FILMING LOCATION:
The lovely town of Culross, in Fife, has been used in several Outlander episodes. The town is owned by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) who have been instrumental in helping preserve the town’s historical buildings. The town is best remembered as being used as Cranesmuir in season 1. Much of the town was painted a dark grey colour for filming, which has reverted to the original white. Despite this, there is no mistaking this idyllic-looking location. And, with a wealth of beautiful buildings it was in demand once more for season 4.

Used in several season 1 episodes of the TV Series Outlander, The Mercat Cross (in the centre of Culross) acted as the centre of Cranesmuir. Here we find Geillis Duncan’s house and the historically picturesque town square where Geillis is sentenced. It is also here that Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) rescue the thief, Tammas, when his ear is pinned to the post.

Later, in spring of 2018, the Outlander cast and crew returned for season 4 filming. This time, with Nell Hudson and Sophie Skelton, filming took place outside a house near Mercat Cross. This was for scenes, in episode 4.07 ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’, involving Bree, Laoghaire and Joanie, when Laoghaire rescues Bree from the cold, then later discovers that she is Jamie’s daughter – a notable deviation from the book.
