Visit Abbot House, Dunfermline, Scotland
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.
