Fiona's Dragon

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

I was only heading towards the Queensferry Crossing and I felt I just had to stop by at Limekiln to see this. I literally have no idea why this is here as it appears to be someone’s house. It’s a copper sculpture (I think) of a dragon climbing up a tree stump. A weird, wacky and fun thing to see to liven up any drive, especially as it's not something you're expecting to see. The sculpture can be hard to find unless you're purposefully looking for it. It's in a dead end road called The Wellheads, in the garden of the first house on the left.

The Memorial Hall adjoining the cottage tells the story of Andrew Carnegie’s lasting legacy which includes internationally renowned landmarks such as the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Peace Palace in The Hague, over 2,800 public libraries around the globe, Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and, of course, the Diplodocus carnegii dinosaur.

Found this hidden gem while visiting Dunfermline abbey. Very informative museum reflecting the life of Andrew Carnegie. Great staff as well! Thank you for advising my wife on buying the proper Carnegie biography - she managed to finish the whole thing during our holidays and has become an expert on steel production in the process ;-)
