What to see

Kirkcaldy Museum kindly loaned artefacts, glass display cases and even their assistant curator to give advice and help set up the displays. Local people loaned or donated items of interest to Lower Methil including many old photographs, and a professional photographer gave his services without charge to copy pictures for display.
A small but dedicated band of volunteers offered their time, and without them this project would not have been possible.
So, with the support of Kirkcaldy Museum, a temporary Heritage Centre was set up in the town's old post office building. This small local museum ran for six months, staffed by dedicated volunteers and was mainly about Lower Methil.
The focus for the Centre has always been to provide a service which is genuinely accessible to as wide a range of people as possible, and to include service users in many aspects of the Centre's work. One of the Centre's principal drives has been to encourage the use of the facility by young people in both educational and recreational settings.
As well as interpreting the social and cultural history of the area, an important part of the Centre's work has been to bring examples of cultural experience and creative work from throughout the country to Methil, and make them directly and easily accessible to people throughout the area.
