[Situation] On the north Side of the Firth of Forth
A parish belonging to Perthshire though locally disjointed from it by the intervention of Clackmannanshire and politically conjoined withthe Shires of Clackmannan and Kinross. It forms nearly a square of 4 miles containing 8,145 Scots acres or thereabouts and is bounded on the west by Tulliallan; on the north-west by Clackmannan on the north by Saline; on the east by Torryburn; and on the south by the Firth of Forth. The barony of Kincardine was disjoined from this parish in 1672 and united with Tulliallan. The surface is level if we exempt the abrupt ascent from the shore. The northern part of the parish consists of moorland which is planted with wood: the southern is fertile and particularly that part of it which intersected by the Bluther which uniting with another streamlet called the Grange falls into the sea at Newmills Bridge where it forms the eastern boundary of the parish. It abounds with freestone, ironstone, ochre and a species clay highly valued by potters and by glass manufacturers Coal the chief mineral product was wrought here at a very remote period by the men |

The shape & construction of the above
fort or camp, being somewhat similar
to the British hill forts, but by the
tradition of the locality ascribed to the
Danes, it is therefore better write it on
plan as above recommended.
"There are still to be seen the remains of two old Camps
from their oval form evidently Danish one in the NW. [North West] quarters
near a place called Burrowan which is said to be the station
to which the Danes retreated after their defeat at the battle of

There are still to be seen the remains of two old Camps from their oval form evidently Danish one
in the NW. [North West] quarter near a place Called Burrowan which is said to be the station to which the
Danes retreated after their defeat at the battle of Inverkeithing; the other a good way farther south i
n the muir of Culross was the station occupied by the Danes before the battle of Culross. The
Praetorium is pretty entire, at least the trenches around it are very discernible."

Ordnance Survey Office
Perth
15th September 1859
Sir
From your willingness
to assist at all times in any
research required for the
purposes of the Ordnance
Survey. I need scarcely
apologise for troubling you
on this occasion. You will
perhaps have observed that
there is a stone or rock
situated about 60 statute
perches NW. [North West] of Bordie, farm
house, on Culross Moor
having two rectangular holes,
which is said to have been
the place where the Standard
of the Scottish army was
erected at the Battle of
Culross. I have got the
name "Standard Stone" for
it. This no doubt is a very
appropriate designation,
but I wish to ascertain
what is the popular name
or that by which it is
W. Stephen Esqr.
Culross
Culross 19 Sept. [September] 1859
Sir
I have much pleasure in
replying to your letter. I cannot find
that the Rock, to which you refer,
was ever known, in the Parish, by
any other name than the one you
have got, "the Standard Stone".
It was never known by the designation
"Boar, or Bore Stone".
But there is a Stone formerly
known by this name, situated,
at the extreme N. W. [North West] point of the
Parish, once of the Burgh, in the
Moor now within Tulliallan policy. In the times of riding the
Marches, the cavalcade was wont
to muster, then, the Standard of the
of the Ancients, or Ensigns as they
were called, was fixed in the hole
in the Stone, and the Town Clerk
standing on the stone, called over the
Burgess roll, a fine being imposed
on those, who were not present to
answer to their names. The fact of
the Standard of the Ancients being
found in the Stone, may possibly
account for the name "Bore
Stone."
I remain
Sic Your envoy
W.C. Stephen
Capt. [Captain] Martin |

known to the country people.
Stones which had been
used for similar purposes
are still preserved in
many parts of Scotland
and it is remarkable that
the name "Boar" or "Bore
Stane" is almost invariably
applied to each of them.
Will you please let
me know what is the
popular name of this
Stone on Culross Moor.
Your answer on
the opposite margin
of this letter, at your
earliest convenience
will very much oblige.
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obliged Sevt. [Servant]

The name "Oneford" appears rather unmeaning as applied to a burn or
Stream so small as this is, of which almost all parts of it are fordable. Enquiry
has been made with a view to ascertain its origin, but with no satisfactory conclusion.
However the pronunciation of it by the country people is One-ford or rather Wan-ford
and perhaps the latter would be the better spelling as "Wan", in the Scotch dialect
Signifies Black, Gloomy, dirty, &c. |

"It will be seen by the extract from Chalmers Caledonia
and the observations thereon that the time, and parties
who fought here are not accurately known, But that a
battle was fought here at some time and by some parties
cannot be disputed, and such being the circumstance
it is better not call it "Battle of Culross" but simply writen on place
"Site of Battle supposed between the Scots and Danes 11th Century"
Military Antiquities - There are still to be seen the remains of two Camps, from their oval form evidently
Danish, one in the N W. [North West] quarter near a place called Burrowan which is said to be the Station to which
the Danes retreated after their defeat at the battle of Inverkeithing the other a good way farther
South in the muir of Culross was the Station occupied by the Danes before the battle of Culrtoss.
The praetorium is pretty entire at least the trenches around it are very discernable. About an English
mile farther east are shewn the traces of the Camp of the Scotch King Duncan and betwixt these
in the same line and nearly at equal distances from both is the field of battle which from
Gib the name of the King of Norway's son who according to tradition was slain there still retains |

forces Macbeth being absent maKing levies was fought about the middle of the 11th Century

to have been afterwards overthrown near Perth, vide Buchanan, lib. [library] 7 Cap. 5 [Caput -Chaprter] & 6

Sueno or Swain King of Norway emulous of his brother's Glory crossed the seas with a great Navy
and landed in Fife. Upon the news of his coming Macbeth was sent to levy an army while
Bancho the other general remained with the King. Duncan, or Donald, as if just roused from
a slumber of indolence was forced to go and meet the enemy. They fought near Culross with such ob-
stinate courage that as one party was scarecely able to fly so the other had no heart to persue. The
Scots who looked upon themselves as overcome rather by their incommodiousness of the place than
by the valour of their enemies retreated to Perth anbd there staid with the remains if the con-
quered forces, watching the motions of their adversaries. tc.

Canute died on the 12th of November in the same year (1035) and Scotland was left
during the five subsequent years of Duncan's reign to enjoy quiet and to engender mischief. Fiction
represents this short period, indeed, as disturbed by some rebellion and as afflicted by some depre-
-dations of the Danes * We may easily suppose indeed that Sigurd's sons, the Earls of Orkney may
have tried their young pinions as eaglet viKings; and soared for prey along the shores
of the Moray Frith while the Maormor of that district was yet an infant.
* The rebellion of Macdonald from the western isles as feigned by Shakespeare, is mere fable
The old historians may have confounded indeed the rebellion of Gilcomgain, the Maormor
of Moray in 1033 with the rebellion of Macdonald during the reign of Duncan. In the same
manner there was no invasion of Fife by "Sueno, the Norway's king," at that period. Shakespeare
and Holinshed were misled by the Scottish historians who confounded times and personages.
" The Norweyan banners may have flouted the sky, in Fife," during the preceding reign.
Chalmer's' Caledonia, vol. [volume] I. p. [page] 404
By the above extract it will appear that chalmers contradicts the Statement of Buchan and other historians conerning the Danish invasion during the reign of Duncan I. and consequently does not credit the statement concerning a battle being fought at Culross between the Scots and Danes during that period. But it is evident from the remains of forts, Standard Stone, and the tradition of the locality that a battle was fought here at some remote time, of which Chalmers though contradicting the Statement of a Danish invasion says nothing in the volume above quoted. But it is probable that had the remaining part of his work been published which is now in manuscript in the Advocates Library Edinburgh we would be better able |

|
|
|
|
[Page] 66
[Continued] to judge if the truth between his Statement and that of the other historians as it is liKely he tries to account for the time and parties who fought on "Culross Moor" when treating in a particular manner of Perthshire and of the parish of Culross. There is little doubt if we would take the trouble to consult the manuscript position of his work relating to this district that we would be able in some degree to set at rest the doubt concerning the history of this battle and thereby be enabled to insert on plan a short explanatory note to that effect. |

At a small distance to the eastward of the church stands the Abbey-house, built by Edward
Lord Kinloss, in 1590 and so called, perhaps from its being built in the vicinity and built of the
materials of the ancient abbey. It is a very fine building in a delightful situation and
commanding an extensive prospect of the Firth of Forth Stirlingshire and the Lothians.
This house was nearly demolished after it became the property of Sir Robert Preston
but was afterwards rebuilt by him.

The date of foundation 1590 as given in Descriptive Rks [Remarks] and in Fullarton's Gazetteer is rather doubtful as Mr Stephen of Culross states that in a paper lately published by a Mr Jervis it is shewn that this house was not built until after the visit of King James VI to Scotland which tooK place in 1617 or 1618 and therefore that the King could not have been entertained here but was evidently entertained in the old house now called "The Palace" then belonging to and occupied by Sir George Bruce of CarnocK.

The Garden of the Manse is said to be Supported on Arches and Conjectured to mark the Site of the Remainder of the Cloisters together with the Courtyard which they enclosed. The Manse, its Gardens and the two gardens lying South from the Manse is Supposed to mark the Site of the Buildings of the Old Abbey. There is nothing known in the neighbourhood of its extent originally - the Inhabitants take no interest in such matters, - all that Can be gleaned of its history is what is given in Several Published Accounts. |

The monastery which was founded in the year 1217 by Malcolm Thane of Fife lies northwest from St.
Mungo's at the head of the town on a rising ground, commanding a beautiful and extensive prospect
of the Firth; considerable remains of it are yet; on the north side of it was the Abbey Church which
had a tower or Steeple in the middle of it which continues Still entire as also the part of the church which
is now made use of for the parish church. The Abbey church was dedicated not only to the Virgin Mary
but also to St. Serf; who was considered as the tutelar Saint of this place in honour of whom there was
an annual procession on his day: viz. 1st July, early in the morning of which all the inhabitants,
men and women young and old assembled and carried green branches through the town decking the
public places with flowers, and spent the rest of the day in festivity. The procession is still continued
the day is changed from the Saint's day to the present King's birthday.
The Earls of Argyle who were formerly wont to reside at Castle Campbell, a strong hold of theirs
on the south side of the Ochils are said to have been heritable, bailies of the abbey; by them it
was disposed to Colville of Ochiltree in whose family the office continued till the heritable jurisdictions
were taken away anno 1748.
The Argyle family had a chapel adjoining to and communicating with the church, a part of which still
remains; and some of the family were buried there.
A Convent was sent to this abbey from the abbey of Kinloss with Hugh the first Abbot.
John Hog was abbot of this place 14th April 1484 when Culross was erected into a burgh of barony
The last abbot of this place was Alexander son of Sir James Colville of Ochiltree who was admitted
a Lord of Session anno 1574. Sir James brother to Alexander was raised to the dignity of Lord Colville
of Culross at which time the King gave him a grant of the dissolved abbey.
At the Reformation the rental of this abbey amounted to £768:16:7 of money 3 chalders 3 bolls wheat
14 chalders 10 bolls 2 firlots barley: 13 chalders 12 bolls 3 firlots 3½ pecks oats 1 chalder 2 bolls, salt; 10 wedders

At the east end of the town on the sea coast, the high road only intervening are the remains of a
chapel, called St. Mungo's Chapel of which the tradition is that it was on or near the
place where St. Mungo or Kentigern was born. He is said to have been the Son of Eugenius III
King of the Scots and of a daughter of Lothus King of the Picts. His mother Thamitis finding her
self with child out of Shame and apprehension of her father's wrath Stole privately away and
entering a vessel that She found at the nearest coast was by the winds and waves cast
on land where the town of Culross is now Situated and there was delivered and leaving
the child with a nurse returned home. His parents being unknown he was brought to
Servanns amd baptized and brought up by him. This Servanns or St. Serf lived at the
time in an hermitage where the monastery was afterwards built and was as is said
Son of a King of Canaan. After various peregrinations he departed this life at Culross
of which town he became the tutelar Saint and in honour of him a whole day annually was
formerly Solemnized by the people here. &c. &c.

Kentigern, the deserving disciple of Servan appeared among the Romanized Britons about
the middle of the 6th century. Under the protection of Marken, the petty king of the Strath-
cluyd Britons Kentigern fixed his residen at Alcluyd, the Capital of the Cumbrian kingdom
But the authority of MarKen, and the jurisdiction of Kentigern, were soon regarded as incon-
-comsistent with each other. And from the wrath of the King the prelate was obliged to
flee for safety into Wales. He was not long after relieved from the enmity of his per-
-secutor by the death of MarKen. He was now recalled to the seat of his usefulness
by Rederech the bountiful, but he died on the 13th of January 601 after performing for the
improvement of the people all that zeal coidd suggest or perseverance could execute. Such
were the religious labours of Kentigern, which induced his votaries to consider him as the founder of the
diocese of Glasgow, to whom its cathedral was dedicated under the endearing name of Mungo, as
his meritorious services were still remembered at the end of six centuries of obscure recollection.
See Usher's Primord., 8vo ed. p. [page] 708 Innes's Eooles Hist. MS. [Historic Manuscript] in my library; the Inquest of David, Prince of
Cumbria, 1116 A.D. in the Chartulary of Glasgow. For the parentage of Kentigern, see the Welsh Archaeology

The above extract is from Chalmers Caledonia vol. [volume] I. p. [page] 316 then follows the account given in the old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] the same in substance as in the two foregoing pages which see
There we see the account of St. Serf's Hermitage and of St. Mungo's birth place is given spoken of in these extracts. The same account with more particulars of the legend connected with St. Kintigerm or St. Mungo is given in "Marshall's Scottish Ecclesiastical affairs" a work lately published and somewhat to the same effect is given in "Keith's Catalogue of Scottish bishops" Therefore it is necessary to notice these two important historical incidents on the ordnance plans. |

In 1639, Sir George Bruce of Carnock founded an hospital in the west end of the town for the
maintenance of 6 decayed poor and aged women widows of Colliers or Salters, or, if these be deficient
to other decayed poor and aged women in the parish of Culross. The building having long since fallen
into ruin, was lately removed, but the garden exists; The rent of which along with the aliment of 24 bolls
of meal, now apportioned among eight instead of 6 widows is given to the incumbents on the Charity.
New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Perthshire p. [page] 605-6
For Site of the above hospital See page 103.
A very important endowment was established by the late Sir Robert and his lady for the purpose
of affording a weekly allowance in their own houses of meal and money to six aged men and six aged
women of respectable character, and who have lived ten years in the parish. These persons receive also
some allowance for clothes and a sum towards the payment of their house rent. In a building connected
with this endowment, a supply of soup is given on two days of the week and for three months during
winter to a number of families in this and the adjoining parish of Torryburn and a large room is
provided where a Sabbath School is taught and to the teacher of which a Salary of £12 is paid out
of the funds of the establishment. The appointment to the benefits of this endowment lies in the property
of Valleyfield for the time being. The fund has been in operation for several years.

In 1637 Thomas Earl of Elgin Son of Lord Bruce of Kinloss founded and endowed an hospital

reserving power to him and his heirs to nominate others, though not of the parish of Culross.

Market Cross
Although there is no market held now in the town of Culross yet it is
written that this Cross was orginally erected for a Market Cross. In the
charter of King James VI to the burgh dated 1588 there is given the privilege of
the above is not the original Cross as it has the date 1819 cut on it but is according
to tradition on the site of the original one.
THe Tron (Remains of)
The Tron is probably ancient, but if it was erected immediately
after the town was raised to the dignity of a Royal burgh in 1588
I would expect to find it in the vicinity of the Market Cross. |

[Situation] Nearly half a mile S W [South West] of the town of Culross
This is the place where the Coals raised in the Colliery at Culross by Sir George Bruce were shipped. It was Insulated at High Water and had a Subterranean Communication with the coal pit. This "Moat" was the Scene of the Tradition recorded in Fullarton's Gazetteer respecting King James the VI when on a hunting excursion, on revisiting his native County, after his accession to the English Crown. The Stone Bulwarks of "The Moat" were washed away by a Violent storm in March 1625, which drowned the Coal & thereby destroyed the Great Coal Pit at Culross. All that now remains is a confused heap of Boulders which are covered at high water but very prominent at Low Water. |

"Formerly the coalworks of Culross were the most considerable in
Scotland it being ordained by Act of Parliament in 1663 that the Culross
chalder should be the Standard measure for Scotland; and the number
of Salt pans then in use amounted to no less than 50. These works appear
to have been in their most flourishing State in the reign of James VI
a little before and some time after his accession to the Crown of
England. They were then wrought a considerable way under the
sea, or at least where the sea flowed at full tide, and the coals were carried out to be
Shipped by a moat within the Sea mark which had a Subterraneous communication with the Coal
pit. One cause to which the decline of these works once so flourishing is ascribed is a violent storm
which happened the very night on which King James died by which moat and different
parts of the machinery were either greatly damaged or totally destroyed. From this shocK
though they were afterwards wrought partially, they never entirely recovered, and were for
a time, wholly deserted". Old Stat. Acct. vol. [Statistical Account volume] 10 p. [page] 144 |
