Culross and the Palace Garden

 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....

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
