Scots Dumpy chicken in Culross Palace Garden, Fife.


Scots Dumpys are one of two traditional fowl of Scotland - with the Scots Grey. However they are now one of the rarest breeds in the UK. The Palace Garden at Culross incorporates features that would have been found in an early 17th century garden. Culross is a former royal burgh in Fife, Scotland. Originally a port city on the Firth of Forth, the town is said to have been founded by Saint Serf and to have been the birthplace of Saint Mungo. Sir George Bruce of Carnock built the splendid 'Palace' of Culross. The town contains many other unique historical buildings and the National Trust for Scotland has been working on their preservation and restoration.
