Visit to Fife Council Archive Collection at Glenrothes Bankhead 9 September 2025

Fife’s chief archivist Andrew Dowsie hosted a conducted tour of the Council’s Collection. Limitations on numbers meant that only of our 15 members could attend. The Collection holds many interesting artefacts, particularly from Fife’s industrial past. As shown, the two 16c ‘caquetoire’ chairs, cared for by the Society in its St Monans office for over 50 years, are now stacked up on metal racking. The Society will be liaising with Fife Museums to see if information on the history and importance of these chairs can be displayed.
