Scope and Content View of courtyard at Culross Abbey House, Fife A Cistercian monastery was founded at Culross by Malcolm, Earl of Fife, in the 13th century. The town became a burgh of barony under the Abbot of Culross in 1490, and was made a royal burgh in 1592. Abbey House stands beside the Abbey overlooking the town. Originally built by Lord Edward Bruce of Kinloss in 1608, it was enlarged in 1670 to form a large Renaissance-style mansion. Ruinous by c.1800, it was reconstructed in 1830 by Sir Robert Preston. The pilastered doorway (left) on the house's north front, bears the Preston coat of arms in the pediment above. The entire house was remodelled by Robert Hurd & Partners in 1954-9, when they lowered the house by one floor and removed four end bays. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
