Interior Of The Abbey Church With Music On Outlander Visit To Culross West Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of the interior of the Abbey Church on Outlander visit and trip to Culross in West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The location of the 17th century Parish Church of Culross is, like the original Abbey, on a hillside overlooking the coastal town of Culross. After the 16th century Reformation when the abbeys and cathedrals were closed, the choir of the medieval abbey began to be used as the parish church and this status was made official by Act of Parliament in 1633. The church complex consists of the choir of the abbey, the sixteenth century tower and a northern aisle, both of which had been built after the demolition of the original abbey nave in around 1500. This newly formed Parish Church replaced the West Kirk, the former parish church which had become ruinous by this time. In The Way Out in the Outlander TV series the old West Kirk is blamed for Tammas Baxter’s illness, the villagers believing him to be possessed after visiting the kirk. Jamie takes Claire to the site of the Black Kirk. While there he explains how young boys would visit the kirk as a dare, and sometimes eat berries and wood garlic. Claire realises that the wood garlic is actually lilly of the valley, the cause of Tammas’s illness. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
