Description
Kinneil Museum is located in the 17th century stable block of Kinneil House and acts as an interpretative centre for Kinneil Estate.
The exhibition "2000 years of history" tells the story of the park from Roman times to the present day. Antoninus Pius, St Serf, Mary, Queen of Scots and James Watt are among the many historical characters associated with the estate.
A short walk from the museum takes visitors to a Roman fortlet, a medieval Church and the site of the medieval village, Kinneil House and James Watt's cottage.
Education activities for primary school groups linked to the Antonine Wall and Roman Fortlet are available at this site. For more information contact 01324 503780.
