Dunfermline, United Kingdom
Kirk St, Culross
N/A
Visited back in August. This ruined abbey was the home of Cistercian monks, but fallen out of use by the 16th century. There's very little of the abbey left to see except the former dining hall which does actually have some interesting Gothic design features on the ceiling. There's some information boards near the entrance and at the back, which are actually quite informative. The part of the abbey that's still in use is the parish church, but that was closed, so there really wasn't much to see.

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
Closed due to pandemic but outside and graveyard very interesting. VC winner stands out. Dry rot contractors there today rescuing parquet floors. Common now due to lockdown and no air circulation apparently.
The history of this place is very interesting. Coming to places like this after the covid makes things feel a lot more normal. I recommend coming here if you're near Culross
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.
