BURNTISLAND HERITAGE TRUST
For 30 years Burntisland Heritage Group have organised summer exhibitions open to the general public. The exhibition in 2024 is titled “The Changing Face of Our Town” with the focus on the High Street, using “Then and Now “ photographs.
A separate room in the centre has a collection of 22 model boats. This part of the exhibition is on the ground floor.The Heritage collection also includes folders, DVDS, videos, and publications with a wealth of information of interest to local people and visitors alike.
The exhibition continues upstairs to the Burgh Chambers to see objects of importance when the town had it’s own town council, as well as well regarded paintings by the largely self taught local photographer and artist Andrew Young, born in the Victorian era.
