It's often fascinating to delve into differing beliefs and values. A visit to Culross Abbey is the perfect way to deepen your understanding of a part of the local way of life.

This house of prayer is often on the itineraries of visitors to Dunfermline. But Culross Abbey isn't the only drawcard here. The Kelpies, Linlithgow Palace, and Blackness Castle are some other recommended attractions nearby.

18.4/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)

We really enjoyed our stay at The Scotsman Edinburgh. The staff were warm and helpful. The bathrooms were newly updated, which was great, but there were a few maintenance issues that held the stay back from being a full 5 stars. The shower fixture kept coming off the wall whenever the water pressure was on, and there were several large brown stains on the carpets, which made the room feel a little less luxurious than expected. Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel with great service, and with a few maintenance improvements, it could easily be a perfect 5/5.

the House of Binns is a really interesting place due to the beauty of the stately home and the tale of General Tam Dalyell, who formed the legendary regiment of Royal Scots Greys.
There are many mementos of him in the house, as well as colourful legends about his dealings with the Devil to discover.
The legend describes Tam's games of cards with the Devil, although the devil normally beat Tam, one night Tam won, he had placed a mirror behind satan so that he could read his hand and in fury the Devil threw a marble table at him. However, it missed and it landed in the Sergeants' Pond outside. A marble table was indeed found when the pond dried up 200 years later. The cards, goblet and spoon, supposedly used in the game are displayed in the house. The General is said to have told the Devil, who threatened to blow down his house and its walls, that "I will build me a turret at every corner to pin down my walls"
