Just off the A985 is Culross, a village that easily transforms you back to the 17th century. Our tour started at the Town House - dates back to 1626. With help from the National Trust this village has been restored to an earlier time.
Walk through the cobbled stone streets and it's easy to imagine Claire visiting Gellis in Cranesmuir. With a little stretch of your imagination, you can see that unfortunate boy being nailed to the pillory. The amount of work that goes into transforming this small square into another of my favorite Outlander scenes is a wonder. Isn't CGI amazing?

"Mr. MacTavish, your fingers are quite strong I suppose."
inside talking with Jo Watson, the owner of a
delightful little shop with souvenirs and hand made
knit items, I stepped outside with Jamie.
Jo has plans to turn the shop into a tearoom.
After our visit with Jo, we walked a very short distance to the Red Lion Inn. We had the ploughman's lunch with soup - more than I could eat. It was a late lunch, but our tour guide recommended we wait until we got to Culross. He was right. The inn, like the rest of the town is full of old world charm.
We had just enough time before rejoining our group for a quick walk around the gardens used in the scenes with Claire and Gellis. The gardens are just behind Culross Palace. You don't have to pay the admission to see the gardens. Earlier, we had decided to skip the palace so we would have time to explore the village.
It was over all a charming afternoon in a charming village.
Looks wonderful and brings back memories of my trips to the British Isles. We liked dining in the inns and pubs.
