About Culross Historic Village
Culross was a Royal Burgh on the Firth of Forth that prospered in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries under Sir George Bruce, who developed coal mines extending beneath the sea. He built salt pans to process the coal and constructed Culross Palace around 1597. The burgh's coal and salt exports made it an early industrial center on the Forth.
