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.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (165 reviews)

Neat and spacious apartments right on the Royal Mile, walkable from several restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a kitchen with all the necessary appliances and cutlery, and a washer/dryer was a huge benefit! Communication was clear and detailed, and everything was set up in advance to help us have a smooth experience. Luggage storage is available on the first floor. The property is well-secured with several layers of doors with access codes. One minor nitpick is all rooms within the unit had auto-closing doors, including the living room - this was a little inconvenient when moving around the unit.

Best Location across from Cathedral st Giles. In the heart of everything. This apartment has everything you need for a sightseeing stay. Can be noisy at night with crowds but if you choose to stay here you should expect it. My only suggestion is to replace the mattress. It feels worn and saggy. Joivy was a great company to work with. Quick to Respond to queries.

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"
