Culross
Culross is a historic burgh in Fife on the Firth of Forth. The National Trust for Scotland describes its surviving seventeenth- and eighteenth-century townscape. Culross Palace is a separate visitor attraction within the burgh.
Culross — reading a burgh from the Forth to its streets
The rooftops of Culross cluster above the Forth. The view from above introduces the relationship between the waterfront and the narrow streets of the old burgh.
The National Trust for Scotland treats the Royal Burgh as a townscape and identifies the Townhouse among the places to see. The photograph looks across the roofs and a tower towards the Forth.
Begin with the waterfront and then follow the rise of the streets. Compare the broad view across the water with the short, enclosed views between buildings. Those changes of scale make the old burgh easier to read.
