Inverkeithing Friary & Gardens

by Alex Young 16 February

The Friary or Greyfriars Convent once formed the guesthouse of the Franciscan convent established here in about 1350.

After the Reformation of 1560, the convent was sold to a local merchant who converted the guesthouse for use as a house, and presumably sold the stone from the remainder of the convent for use in other building projects.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
