Culross Tron and Town House
This is a replica of the Tron which was a vertical wooden pillar with a hinged cross beam carrying scale pans on each end. One pan for weights and one for measures. Local produce such as coal and salt were weighed here by the Tron Master. The inset is taken from the plaque that can be seen on the base plinth. Culross Town Hall, with spire, can be seen behind the Tron.

Culross and the Firth of Forth
In 1575, George Bruce bought the lease of a disused colliery from Culross Abbey and began developing coalmining and salt panning on this part of the Firth of Forth. King James VI granted royal burgh status in 1588, allowing Bruce to participate in foreign trade which proved lucrative. After the 17th century the burgh suffered a slow decline, its population dwindling from several thousand people at the height of its prosperity to a mere 578 in 1951. Many of its crumbling buildings were facing inevitable demolition when, in 1932, the National Trust for Scotland stepped in and began an extensive restoration of the burgh, which has created today's impressive 17thC time capsule.
