The sea broke into the undersea mine workings in the 1600s, and the owner died not too long after...and with that the town had no work or commerce...but that did mean that the old town was not developed and destroyed...
And for now commerce is on the other side of the river at Grangemouth....which you can smell and hear even at that distance over the Firth of Forth.
But I must not forget the garden....

That is a charming village, and oh, those gardens!
...beautifully built before cars were a thought!
Great photos. I especially love that tall structure with the conical roof. Is it’s for doves?
The bird flu is here in Australia right now. Millions of birds are being euthanised. My chickens are in lock down because of it.
So many have gone that there are shortages in egg supplies
Yes, called a Doocot
Beautiful old village, and interesting garden!
Ooh the teasel would make a nice relief print. Do you think you’ll do anymore lino prints?
Definitely Fresca. But there is so much getting in the way of things I want to do !
Such a lovely, natural garden.
Dumpy Hens - wonderful!
The wee Scots Greys are good chooks....eat lots of grubs and they don't have such big feet that they stomp over everything, flattening the veges in the process like other larger breeds!
Culross looks like an interesting, quaint place. It must have been terrifying when the sea broke into the mines!
