Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of old photographs and footage of Culross, on ancestry, genealogy, Outlander history visit and trip to West Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Culross has been used in several Outlander episodes. The Town House, which dates back to 1626, was once the home of local government and it was also used as a prison. It is believed that suspected witches were held prisoner in the attic. A clock tower structure was added much later, possibly round about the early 1780s. A legend states that when the British princess, and future saint, Teneu, daughter of the king of Lothian, became pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo. A picturesque tall house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross called The Study dates from around 1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane, born 1611, died 1684, who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace it is one of the finest in Culross. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day @tourscotland #scotland #music #outlander #fife
