Scope and Content East end of interior of Culross Abbey Church, Culross, Fife Culross Abbey Church was part of the Cistercian Abbey founded in 1217 by Malcolm, Earl of Fife. It was converted into a parish church in 1663, the rest of the abbey having lain derelict since the end of the 16th century. This part was originally the monastic choir, where the monks would have gathered during Divine Offices. It became the main body of the church when the 13th-century nave was abandoned and the tower built. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
