Pine panelling with decorative painting, including more than 16 Biblical scenes. Dutch tiles, 17th and 18th century furniture. The north wing is a separate building dating from 1611. It has a stables, byre and hayloft on the ground floor. Apartments above are panelled and have ceiling and wall paintings. Culross is an historic village that was a royal burgh.
