Heather Cottage
Off the main street through Culross, you’ll find Heather Cottage and neighbouring Fern Cottage. Originally dating from the late 1600s the building and the Village of Culross are steeped in history.
This exceptional home away from home was completely updated in mid 2021 with the guest experience and comfort at the forefront of the owner’s intentions. Comfortably sleeping four within two bedrooms the property is the ideal base to explore the village and the county that this property is right in the middle of. Upstairs the main living room is spacious and well presented. Should you wish to dine in, the kitchen has everything you need.
The picturesque coastal village of Culross, with its cobbled streets and lanes, painted houses and red pan tiled roofs dates back to medieval times. Visit Culross Palace and Gardens and Culross Abbey, or step back in time and stroll up Back Causeway, a cobbled alleyway which has a raised central aisle that was used by noblemen to separate them from the ’commoners’. Wandering around Culross gives you a unique opportunity to walk through history and experience what 17th and 18th-century towns in Scotland would have looked like at the time. As such, the town has been used for film locations including ’The Little Vampire, ’A Dying Breed’, ’The 39 Steps’ and ’Captain America: The First Avenger’. More recently, it has been used in the mystical and spellbinding TV saga ’Outlander’, where the town was transformed into the fictional village of Cranesmuir where Geillis lives. If you would like to follow in the footsteps of the characters from Outlander, then there are many of the other locations within driving distance, including Blackness Castle, Linlithgow Palace and Hopetoun House. For walkers and cyclists, the Fife Coastal Path passes through the village taking you along the shore to nature reserves and pretty villages. Only 30 minutes’ drive away is Stirling and Edinburgh Airport, where you can use the park and ride for easy access to the city centre. Beach 3 miles. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 300 yards.
