Tour Scotland Video Palace Culross Fife



Tour Scotland video of the Palace in Culross, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish palace was constructed between 1597 and 1611 by Sir George Bruce, the Laird of Carnock. Bruce was a successful merchant who had a flourishing trade with other Forth ports, the Low Countries and the Baltic countries. He had interests in coal mining and salt production, and is credited with sinking the world's first coal mine to extend under the sea. Although never a royal residence, James VI visited the Palace in 1617.
