Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Painted Chamber with its painted wood panelling in the Palace in Culross on ancestry, genealogy, Outlander, family history visit to West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The decorative wood panelling and painted timber ceilings survive from the early 1600s. The panels depict Biblical scenes. with a Latin moral maxim above and a rhyming couplet below each scene. The major USA TV series Outlander was made partly in Culross. The Palace is a late 16th or early 17th century merchant's house. Also known as the Great Lodging, it 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 Sweden. 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. Many of the materials used in the construction of the palace were obtained during the course of Bruce's foreign trade. Baltic pine, red pantiles, and Dutch floor tiles and glass were all used. Appearing in seasons 1, 2 and 4. It is first seen in season 1 when the palace gardens are used as the herb garden at Castle Leoch. Not long after that we then get to see the palace Withdrawing Room doubling as Geillis Duncan’s parlour. The palace was used again in season 2. The courtyard and main stairway were used as the village encampment where Claire pulls a tooth from a local woman and Murtagh waits on Jamie who is meeting with the Prince. The Palace High Hall was used for the Jacobite meeting where Jamie swears his oath to Prince Charlie. The Palace’s Kings Room was used as for a bedroom scene when Jamie and Claire’s visit a village. The Palace’s Kitchen and Pantry was used as a tavern. Returning for season 4, Outlander made good use of the palace rooms once more, this time playing the part of the inside of Laoghaire’s home. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
