Scope and Content View of painted ceiling after restoration, Culross Palace, 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. Originally a three-storeyed block with crowstepped gables, there were additions to the north and south in the later 17th century. Acquired by The National Trust for Scotland in 1932, the palace has been much restored both internally and externally. This restored barrel ceiling consists of panels containing painted pictures of allegorical or Scriptural subjects with a Latin text or maxim above and an English couplet below, all illustrating morality and virtues such as patience and constancy.
