Kinneil Museum is located in the 17th century stable block of Kinneil House and acts as an interpretative centre for Kinneil Estate. The exhibition 2,000 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 the Antonine Wall (the UK’s nomination for inclusion on the World Heritage Site list) and Roman fortlet, a medieval Church and the site of the medieval village, Kinneil House and James Watt's cottage.
For schools, Kinneil Museum is particularly useful for studying the Romans, medieval industry and fieldwork skills. Activity guides are available. Visit the Education, access and outreach page for more information on how to book a school visit.
