Kinneil Museum is located in the 17th century stable building of Kinneil House. The ground floor boasts an exhibition telling the story of Bo'ness town which was built on Roman remains. The upper floor gallery serves as an interpretation centre for Kinneil Estate, with its House built by the Dukes of Hamilton and its associations with famous names from Scottish history, Mary Queen of Scots and James Watt among them.
Steeped in history, Kinneil Estate contains part of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site and one of its fortlets, the site of the deserted Kinneil medieval village of which only a ruined church remains, and a section of the John Muir Way opened in 2014.
