Culross is a picturesque West Fife village on the north of the River Forth, between Kincardine and High Valleyfield. Legend tells it was founded by St Serf in the Sixth Century, and was the birthplace of St Kentigern (St Mungo). Culross Abbey dates to 1217, and the port bustled with trade from the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th Centuries. Its cobbled streets and buildings from this period frame Culross like a snapshot in time, and Culross Abbey, Palace, Town House and other buildings are now preserved by the National Trust for Scotland, but the Royal Burgh is a modern community, and s1culross.com has been developed to allow residents share their news, views and opinions, make announcements, publicise events and show off their photos and videos.

9/5/2008Culross speed bumps too high?

By robert park

I wondered if anyone else in the village thinks the speed bumps on the western and the eastern approach to Culross are potentially damage-inflicting hazards to drivers. I have witnessed several vehicles "bottoming" as they drive over them.

I have brought this matter to the attention of the roads department and await for some form of response.

If in doubt next time you pass the speed bumps have a look at the many scrape marks on the road surface.

Vehicles with normal unlowered suspension have many times been subject to damage which at the time may not be obvious but may show up at a later time.

I would suggest that anyone with a similar view to my own would also bring the matter to the attention of the roads department.
