Falconer Museum

A category B listed Italian Renaissance style museum built to commemorate Hugh Falconer, fossil collector, botanist and contemporary of Charles Darwin.

Around the exterior of the building are a number of carved heads depicting eminent scientists including Sir Issac Newton, James Watt and Hugh Millar. Inside is a purpose built Victorian museum including a Curator's flat, now incorporated into the museum's exhibition areas.

The Friends of the Falconer Museum will be on hand to guide you round the building, describing the history and explaining how the original layout has changed from a Victorian museum with purpose built Curator's flat to its present form.
