Culross Abbey and Church

I forgot to say in my previous post on the village that Culross is pronounced Coo-russ.

If you climb the hilly street you will reach the ruins of Culross Abbey.

There is a more modern church built more or less on the same site but you can still wander around the ruins of the original Abbey.
