Culross Palace, located in the historic village of Culross, Fife, Scotland, was built between 1597 and 1611 by Sir George Bruce, a wealthy merchant and mining expert. The palace is a prime example of 17th-century Scottish architecture, featuring distinctive yellow harling on its exterior and intricate painted ceilings inside.

The building has a rich history, serving as the Bruce family residence for generations before falling into disrepair in the 18th century. It was eventually restored by the National Trust for Scotland in the 1930s.

Culross Palace is reputed to be haunted by several ghostly inhabitants. One of the most frequently reported apparitions is that of a young woman in a green dress, believed to be a former servant who died in the palace. Visitors and staff have claimed to see her walking through the rooms and corridors, often disappearing through solid walls.

Another reported phenomenon is the sound of phantom footsteps echoing through the empty halls, particularly on the upper floors. Some witnesses have described hearing the rustle of period clothing accompanying these footsteps.

In the palace’s kitchen, staff members have reported strange occurrences such as objects moving on their own and the feeling of being watched when alone in the room. Some have even claimed to smell phantom cooking odors when the kitchen has been empty for hours.

The garden area of Culross Palace is also said to be haunted, with reports of a ghostly monk seen wandering among the herbs and flowers. This apparition is thought to be connected to the nearby Culross Abbey, which has its own paranormal reputation.
