Cowane's Hospital
Here you can check out your local ancestors in the family history centre, admire the grandeur of the Guildhall or enjoy the sunshine beside one of Scotland’s oldest bowling greens.
Cowane’s Hospital dates back to 1633 when wealthy merchant John Cowane, known as Staney Breeks, left money to build an almshouse for twelve merchants who had fallen on hard times. His statue still overlooks the entrance.
