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.

12/5/2008Speed Bumps?

By Craig Dunbar
Speed Bumps? Thank Goodness for them at each end of the Village. What a great pity many people - including Bus Drivers - do not stick to the mandatory 20 MPH whilst driving through the remainder of Culross. Only a matter of time before there is a fatality of a child, the elderly or a disabled person.

I have no problem with the speed bumps being there Craig but as a driver who pays his road tax I do have a problem with them if they cause damage to vehicles and the related costs of repair etc. Regarding the 20mph speed limit I agree that many people do not take heed of the warning signs which are quite clear for everyone to see. This I can not condone. There is a speed limit through the village which would still apply without speed bumps at each end of the village so in reality they do not serve any useful purpose but do damage motor vehicles which is a problem which must be addressed.
