The National Trust for Scotland describe Culross as "Scotland’s most complete example of a burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries", and nowadays it is a magnet for tourists and film makers. However, when David and Harriet moved there in the early 1840s it was relatively depressed. The old industries of coal mining and salt panning had gone. But for the young couple it would have been a time of excitement and opportunity. They rented one of the finest houses in the royal burgh - Gowerville House - which is still a family home, but is now known as St Kentigern's (pictured below).
