FIFE Provost Jim Leishman will unveil a plaque at the official launch of the Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries tomorrow.

As an extended thank-you to the funding partners and supporters who helped deliver the £12.4 million museum, a special celebration will be held.

Mr Leishman will be joined by fellow 'wall of famers', including singer Barbara Dickson and members of rock band Nazareth, at the launch.

Award-winning architect Richard Murphy, Fife Cultural Trust chairman David Caldwell and convener of the City of Dunfermline area committee, Helen Law, will also attend.

The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded Fife Council a grant of £2.8m towards the new museum, the council committed £8.6m and the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust contributed £1m.

Construction work began in December 2014 and the library and galleries in Abbot Street have proved a big hit since opening in May with around 4,000 visitors per week.

Integrated with the original Dunfermline Carnegie Library, which opened 134 years ago, the new venue houses a museum over two floors, three temporary exhibition galleries, a café, a new children’s library and a local history, study and archives space.

The project has already won four awards from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and Edinburgh Architectural Association.
