Bessie Bar Steps

Highlight • Trail

Culross Palace is a former merchant’s home that was constructed between 1597 and 1611 by Sir George Bruce, the Laird of Carnock. Whilst it might not be a palace in the Royal sense of the word, this well-preserved gentleman’s house and gardens is a very interesting place to explore. You get some lovely views over the red-tiled roofs and steep cobbled streets of Culross, too.
