Abbot
House - Dunfermline
The
oldest building in Dunfermline, West Fife, situated in the Maygate
at the centre of the burgh. Although it was built on the line
of the old abbey wall, it was never the home of an Abbot of
Dunfermline. Constructed in the 16th century after the Reformation,
it was probably built for Robert Pitcairn, Commendator (lay
administrator) of the old Abbey estates.
In 1994 the building was opened as a museum tracing the story
of the town from Pictish times to the present day.
