It's steeped in the rich history of Scotland’s ancient capital. The house is instantly recognisable by its colour and is known fondly as the ‘pink hoose’ by locals.
Abbot House’s location could not be more perfect, having both the Dunfermline Abbey and the Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries as neighbours. The Abbey stands in full grandeur, with King Robert The Bruce carved proudly into the church tower, signifying his burial site. The award-winning Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries is a stunning mix of historic and contemporary architecture, with a new museum celebrating Dunfermline’s impressive royal and industrial heritage. Abbot House’s splendid walled garden to the rear of the building sits proudly among it all, with stunning views from all angles.
