Flooding scare at Culross Palace, historic building used as Outlander filming location

Flooding threatened a historic building in Fife which was used as a filming location for the TV series Outlander.

Culross Palace and the surrounding village has been used for filming several times in the series including seasons one, two and four.

As torrential rain battered the east of Scotland at the weekend, parts of the village of Culross experienced flash flooding.

The fire service were called out to help pump away water from houses amid "extremely difficult conditions."

Early indications suggest the historic building, which dates back to the 16th Century, escaped any damage but its visitor shop was waterlogged.

The Palace's Twitter account posted: "Sadly, after heavy and relentless rain at Culross, the Palace and Townhouse are CLOSED tomorrow Monday 12th August to assess flood damage

"Our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly on Sunday clearing the mess and putting down flood defences, thank you!"
