Kinneil Estate is a treasure trove of interesting historical artifacts. Why not download the new hidden Heritage Trail leaflet here and have fun with your family exploring the park and filling in the questions. Or pick up a copy in Kinneil museum. Our volunteer photographer Oscar has also helped us create this ‘delightful details’ quiz sheet which you can use to test your knowledge of the site if you are a regular visitor, or use to explore and appreciate the park if you are getting to know the area. Download HERE.

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.
