To the Right Honourable ALEXANDER Earl of Kincardin, Lord Bruce, &c. (Book Culross)
CULROSSE (Book Culross)
HATH its Name from Cul, which signifies a Bank or Border, and Rosse, which was the ancient Name of Fife, because it lies in the Western Corner of that Shire.
It is situated on a Descent at the side of the River of Forth, its Chief Commodities being Salt and Coals. That which chiefly adorns it, is the stately Buildings of the Earl of Kincardin; with the Gardens and Terrace Walks about it, having a pleasant Prospect to the very Mouth of the River Forth. Near unto these Buildings are to be seen the Ruins of an Ancient Monastery.
