The cowl is named after Culross which is a village in Fife, across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh. Culross was a thriving 17th Century Port and is described by the National Trust for Scotland as:
Scotland’s most complete example of a burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Yellow and white-harled houses with red-tiled roofs line the steep cobbled streets which run from the market cross to the hilltop abbey. In the centre is the ochre-coloured Culross Palace with original painted woodwork and beautifully restored 17th- and 18th-century interiors and its beautifully reconstructed period garden, complete with herbs, fruit and vegetables.
Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland and is often used as a film and television location, including in the US hit TV drama, Outlander
