The 'Outlander village' near Edinburgh thought to be one of Scotland's prettiest

Widely considered to be one of the prettiest villages in Scotland, Culross is often overlooked as a tourist destination.

However, it seems this hidden gem has been catching the attention of Outlander fans after it was used to double as the fictional town of Cranesmuir in season one of the hit show and the nearby Palace grounds were featured as a location for several scenes in season two.

Located on the northern banks of the Firth of Forth across the water from Bo'Ness and close to the town of Dunfermline, the picturesque village has a rich history. Pronounced (Coo-riss) it not only has religious origins but also a lasting connection to Glasgow.
