West Fife Museums

The western part of Fife Council’s Museums Service has its headquarters at Dunfermline Museum in an early 20th century house. From this are run an underground site (St Margaret’s Cave), a museum in a 14th century (but much altered) Friary in Inverkeithing and a 17th century house in Pittencrieff Park which was converted to a museum almost 100 years ago using Robert Lorimer designs.

The collection is a mixture of local objects concerned with civic, commercial, industrial and personal life. There are two groups of objects which are particularly interesting: costume and items connected to the local linen industry.
