Scope and Content Aerial view of Culross, Fife Culross became a burgh of barony dependent on the nearby Cistercian abbey in 1490. The abbey's coal-mines passed to Sir George Bruce in 1575. In 1592, his friend, King James VI, turned Culross into a royal burgh with a monopoly on iron scone-girdles. The medieval abbey is in the centre of the top-right quarter of the photograph. The early 17th-century town-house in the middle left can be recognised by its central tower, an 18th-century addition. At the end of the block to its left is Culross Palace. By the late 19th-century, Culross was 'a mere skeleton of an ancient town'. Its coal mine had been flooded in 1625, while its iron scone-girdle industry had been damaged by loss of monopoly in 1727and then killed off by competition from Carron Ironworks.
