Culross, small picturesque royal burgh (town) in Fife council area and historic county, Scotland, on the northern bank of the Firth of Forth. The burgh has early religious associations with the Celtic saints Serf and Kentigern (5th century). A Cistercian abbey was founded there in 1217, and its tower and choir remain in the parish church. The burgh is a remarkable example of 16th- and 17th-century Scottish architecture. Attractive restored red-roofed houses huddle at various angles and levels along steep cobbled streets. They include the Palace (c. 1597 and 1611), Abbey House (1608), the Town House (1625–26), and the Study (1633), which contains a collection of local furniture and pottery. Pop. (2011) 4,348.
