Lovely old Abbey still functioning as a place of worship. Very interesting history.

Very nice church (specially the ruins of the old one, close to the new one) which was built on the site of and old foundation around 6th century, by Malcolm, earl of Fife. Around 1600, a new law moved the West Kirk to this nearby Abbey Parish Church. It was opened when we visited (that’s not frequent in Scotland). Nice cemetery just close to it. Very silent, quiet, peaceful. Worth a ten minute visit

A fascinating place full of history and still quite a lot to see. Lovely views across the Forth. A steep walk uphill from Culross but worth the effort. The tower where witches were kept is particularly eerie.

A nice abbey but currently under repairs taking away from the beauty and the best spots for photos will try again in a few months and see if I change my mind. Plan ahead so you don’t get caught out like I did.

As usual, due to 20 years of SNP cultural thuggery, H@S considerations, are an excuse for closing all monuments, which need some financial input. Six oversees, ‘Embassys’, are far more important.

Beautiful Abby at the top of a steep incline over looking the coastal line. Amazing ruins on the grounds. Information boards up telling stories. No parking that we could see but worth the walk up just pace yourself. Perfect way to end a tour of this amazing town

Very atmospheric walking around the grounds of the old Abbey . One section is only accessible by a set of steep metal steps, apart from that a fine place to visit,there is a cafe, closed, opening May 2019.

Quite an interesting church although a slight shame that the entire complex is not available to visitors. Beautiful coloured glass with marble sculptures. Very peaceful and quiet. Entry is free

I wasn't sure where yo park so I pulled over right in front. It seemed to be fine. Loved the history.

If your paying a visit to the charming and highly condensed historical burgh of Culross, having a look into the abbey, graveyard and church is a must. About the Abbey only the ruins remain and the history of the cistercienses monks that once upon the time lived there. To visit the church I highly recommend you to check the opening times.
