A legend states that when the British princess, and future Saint, Teneu, daughter of the king of Lothian, became pregnant before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf; he became foster father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo. The most complete example of a burgh in the 17th and 18th centuries, Culross is acknowledged as one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland, hence why it is so often used as a film and television location, including for hit US TV series, Outlander.
