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.
