Scope and Content Fife Folk Museum, High Street, Ceres, Fife, from south This view from the south, taken in 1979, shows part of the buildings housing the museum on the right, with an awning constructed to shelter outdoor exhibits. The building in the centre is a former brewery, and the parish church of 1805-6, with its later spire, is in the left background. These buildings were adapted to form a museum by L A Rolland & Partners, architects. As Ceres has, with a short industrial interlude, been an agricultural village it is a particularly appropriate place for the museum. The carved lintel, dated 1710, which gives the weigh house its name is a later insertion. This museum was created in 1984 to celebrate the history of rural life in Fife. It is in two sections, separated by High Street. On the lower side are the weigh house, an early 18th-century building, the basement of which was the village lock-up, and a former inn, and on the upper side a converted bothy.
