Stone carving on the exterior of the Town Hall building in Dunfermline
Stone carving on the exterior of the Town Hall building in Dunfermline It was constructed in the period 1875-79 and was designed by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It was constructed on the site of an older Town House of 1771 which was in its turn built to replace the 17th century Town House, demolished as part of 18th century improvements to the town. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 Town House. These are believed to have originated from the now derelict Royal Palace of Dunfermline a few hundred yards to the south.
