The pre-Reformation parish church of Culross, dating from a very early period, has been in ruins since before 1633. It was a plain oblong building, 70'7" x 16'1" within 2'8" thick walls, which have been extensively rebuilt. A mortuary aisle was added to the S side in the 17th century. There are three 16th century tombstones placed against E gable, within the church.

Old Kirk in Culross village. This was used in the filming of Outlander as the Kirk in Cranesmuir village. Very peaceful place to visit with a shirt hike up from the village. Only ruins are visible with a few headstones dating to as far as 1700s.
