Scope and Content Rear, Greyfriars Convent (Inverkeithing Museum), Queen Street, Inverkeithing, Fife Greyfriars Convent, a House of Franciscan Friars, was founded about 1350. In 1559 it was sold to John Swinton who probably converted the old guesthouse into a house for himself, and quarried stone from the other buildings. It now serves as a museum. The Friary is the block to the left of the fence. 14th-century details, like the pointed window, were restored in 1932-4 when the harling was removed from the walls.
