This was a long overdue visit and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the experience. The Palace is small and intimate but the layout is such that you are able to appreciate significance of Culross in the development of our great nation. The gardens are impressive and offer a short and impressive vista of the area. Not one of our major palaces but most certainly one to be visited on a trip to beautiful Culross.

Located about 15 minutes west of Dunfermline, this is a charming period home and garden. The ticket office is in the clocktower building, tickets are timed and there's an interesting 10 min video you can watch once your tour begins. The house is quirky and really unique, never been in an example like this. The herb garden is extensive and great to walk around. Disabled access is possible- ie assuming the person can walk - the really helpful guides will show you the best route. There's a slope to the garden to the right of the house, for example. ( ideal for w/ch users but the garden can probably be visited?) The cafe to the left of the palace is great, fresh soups and sandwiches amongst other delights. There's a car park past the palace (west) on the left or on the street.

What a special place located on the shores of the Firth of Forth. Bessie’s served good cake and hot drinks and we enjoyed our tour of the house and garden. The medieval painted ceilings are amazing. It took us around an hour or so. The £3.50 guide book was good value and we did the tour of the village located in it. This took us to other historical places in the village. All in all a long morning very well spent.

The whole village of Culross is well worth a visit, but Culross Palace is a late Renaissance masterpiece that is a must see. Its barrel-vaulted ceilings and painted chambers are like no other building in Scotland, and look out for the symbols carved into the fireplace in the Laird’s Room. The building’s owner may have used then cutting edge technology to create the first undersea coal mine but he was from an age that still believed in sorcery, and these sigils were designed to protect him and his family from witchcraft.

Very good! Went here with a University trip and the students all loved it. The Palace is small but beautiful and the gardens were too. It is also located ina lovely little village of Culross which is well worth a walk around. Overall, very impressed, really good attraction.

The Palace is a treasure not just for Culross but for all Scotland. As other stated, being able to experience the home as it was so long ago is enlightening and a rare treat. The gardens are incredible--don't miss them, and be sure to walk to the back and climb up to the terraces! Worth making time for a visit!

Absolutely, lovely, restored palace, and incredible gardens! The gardens were the star here – they were terraced and kept going up and up and up (four or five terrace levels!). The presentation of history was very well done as well. It was easily accessible and not boring, and we left feeling very knowledgeable.
