Awards for town’s new galleries

Dunfermline’s new Carnegie Library and Galleries is not only wowing the crowds, but architects as well.

The £12 million building, which opened its door to the public last month, picked up two gongs at the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) awards. Fife Council also scooped the Scottish Government’s “Client of the Year” award.
