Come along and discover the original birthplace cottage of Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919). Find out how Andrew, born a weaver’s son in Dunfermline, emigrated to America and became the richest man in the world, and one of the most generous philanthropists of all time. The Memorial Hall adjoining the cottage tells the story of Andrew Carnegie’s lasting legacy which includes internationally renowned landmarks such as the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Peace Palace in The Hague, over 2,800 public libraries around the globe, Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and, of course, the Diplodocus carnegii dinosaur.

Found this hidden gem while visiting Dunfermline abbey. Very informative museum reflecting the life of Andrew Carnegie. Great staff as well! Thank you for advising my wife on buying the proper Carnegie biography - she managed to finish the whole thing during our holidays and has become an expert on steel production in the process ;-)
2. Fife Folk Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
A window on Fife’s past, Fife Folk Museum in the village of Ceres in Scotland, offers an interesting and entertaining day out for all the family with activities for all ages. The museum is housed in a range of older buildings including the old weigh-house where grain was weighed at a tron on market days. The building also served as a tolbooth for locking up minor offenders and the village jougs are still attached.

So I consider myself a little bit of a food snob and so when I found out that the only place in Ceres to be serving food as a museum cafe, my heart sunk a little bit. It needn’t have. The food was fresh and clearly homemade (leek and potatoe soup with Brie sandwich) and cake for dessert. Both incredible. Lovely friendly staff. Will visit whenever I’m in Scotland :)

A beautiful melding of the old and the new: traditional wooden bookcases in the old library building meets fantastically clever and original new galleries. A superb piece of modern architecture making the most of the available space whilst capitalising upon the stunning views from on high. Very interesting items beautifully displayed. What a shame the old Abbott's House Museum next door is no more....
