The story behind the image
For our trip to Scotland we had planned to visit the west coast first and then slowly move to the east coast. But when we arrived in Oban the weather was turning really bad, with strong winds, rain, and low temperatures. And while we sat in our room, wondering what to do now, we watched a TV live broadcast of the British Open golf tournament in St. Andrews. The sun was shining! So we decided to pack our bags and drive over to the east coast. It’s not that far away, and we could stop at interesting locations enroute.
One of these stops was at Culross, west of Dumfermline. This small village has been conserved in its historic state and presents itself to the visitors in a very good shape, featuring several cobble stone streets and tiny houses.
This is the town house, also known as The Tolbooth, which dates back to 1626. The building served as the headquarters of the burgh council until 1975 and was then handed over to the National Trust for Scotland for use as a visitor centre with an exhibition area and a gift shop.
