When Adam Smith died he left a huge legacy of ideas but few personal possessions. Kirkcaldy Galleries is lucky enough to have on display his snuff box, a first edition of the Wealth of Nations, his ink stand, and currently on loan the restored painting of his mother Mary Douglas by Conrad Metz (1749-1827).
After finishing the trail take time to explore the Galleries further – they are home to an award-winning museum and art gallery, a modern library, a café and local archives. Explore world-class exhibitions, including works by the celebrated Scottish Colourists, delve into Fife’s rich heritage, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with a book or coffee.
