THERE are already many reasons to visit the historic village of Culross - but dropping by on a Sunday is extra special.
At the end of every week, from 1pm-4pm, local businesses set up their stalls ready to welcome residents and tourists to browse the array of products on offer on the green.
What started as a reaction to the pandemic and the push to take community events outdoors has now become a staple, and the market is only now cancelled when the West Fife weather is particularly poor.
On a sunny day, there's nowhere nicer to be than Culross, and a stroll through the village's cobbled and coloured streets, a browse at the market, followed by a coffee and cake at a quaint cafe, makes for the perfect day.
Lynne Nelson, who runs Nelson's of Culross Dairy Farm Ice Cream at Blair Mains Farm, set up the weekly event, and every Sunday, she can be found on the green, serving up a cone.
She said: "The market has been running since lockdown in 2020. The village had no shop, so it helped not just with selling produce, but it was a chance for everyone, once a week, to catch up, socially distanced.
"Various local people joined with their goods, demand grew, and so I asked some other stall holders, people whom we'd got to know at farmers' markets over the years.
"Over the years, we've also donated nearly £6,000 to various charities. There's a great sense of community and camaraderie because it also remains a social event in the village."
Whether you're looking for fudge, cheese, coffee, beer, crafts or books, there's something for everyone.
For such a small place, Culross has a lot to offer with multiple cafes, the cosy Red Lion pub and on weekends, even a taco van serving up the fresh Mexican dish for takeaway at The Stables.
