Scope and Content Vaulted cellar, 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. Though the building looks like a 17th-century tenement from the outside, most of the structure, including this vaulted cellar, dates from the 14th century. By 1834, Greyfriars Convent was known as 'the Palace' - according to local tradition it had been the residence of Anne Drummond, wife of King Robert III (died, 1406). This perhaps explained its exemption from burgh jurisdiction. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
