Scope and Content Carriage entrance to Culross Palace, Fife Culross Palace, originally called 'The Great Lodging', was built between 1597 and 1611 by George Bruce. Restored by The National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland, it is the best surviving example of a merchant's house from that period. King James VI, who knighted Sir George, would have passed through this early 17th-century gate on the several occasions he was a guest at the palace. As his guest, King James VI visited Sir George's innovative coal mine which ran under the Forth to surface at an artificial island where, isolated and surrounded by water, the king suspected treachery and cried 'Treason!' before being reassured.
