When Louise, Andrew Carnegies wife, founded the museum she did so in the hope that it would prove an inspiration to generations to come. To honour her intention, the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum has been completely refurbished.

Voiceovers, weaving demonstrations, interactive displays, temporary exhibitions, improved cafe and museum shop and a unique space have all been added to ensure that the museum is a fascinating and informative place to visit. Come along and find out about life in 19th century Dunfermline and what it was like to emigrate to America with just a few possessions. Discover how Andrew Carnegie became the richest man in the world and father of modern philanthropy.

To date The Roll of Honour comprises three beautifully leather bound volumes displaying over six thousand names of those recognised by the Trustees since the establishment of the Fund in 1908.  The early pages of the Roll detail mining accidents, incidents of drownings and runaway horses followed by wartime bombing raids.  Through these evocative and beautifully inscribed pages both the heroic deeds and changing social history are laid bare.
