Scope and Content Plan 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. Most of the burgh was probably laid out during the 50 years of prosperity after 1575, including the town-house, a replacement for an earlier tolbooth, and, to the north west of The Tron, Sir George Bruce's residence, now known as 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.
