Tour Scotland April Video Pittencrieff House Dunfermline Fife

Tour Scotland video of Pittencrieff House in Pittencrieff Glen on ancestry visit to Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish house, now a museum, was built by Sir Alexander Clerk of Pittencrieff as a simple laird's house with two stories and an attic around 1635. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie purchased both Pittencrieff House and Estate from its then owner, Colonel James Maitland Hunt, with the intention to gift these to the people of Dunfermline. The official ceremony for the gifting of the park occurred the following year, and a trust fund in honour of the benefactor, known as Dunfermline Carnegie Trust, was founded for the general maintenance of the glen and house.
