Once a thriving village with mines, iron workings and trade links with the Low Countries, Culross fell into decline in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its restoration began in the 1930s, and now the town is a striking resurrection of its 16th- and 17th-century heyday.

Founded in the 11th century by Queen (later St) Margaret, the abbey’s stunning feature is the 12th-century Romanesque nave. This was the burial place of Robert the Bruce – without his heart, which he requested be taken on a Crusade to the Holy Land. A skeleton with the heart chamber cut open was discovered in a grave here in 1818; the site is now marked by a plaque to honour the hero of the Battle of Bannockburn.
