The Wemyss School of Needlework was founded in 1877 by Dora Wemyss, inspired by the Royal School of Needlework in London. It sought to teach a skill to local girls from which they would be able to earn a living. The school now houses an important museum collection, including items made at the school, of designs and textiles dating from the 17th century to contemporary pieces collected and donated by the Wemyss family, past pupils and their families and friends of the School. My mum, Fiona, now runs the school with Sheila and Louise. Pop in for a tour of the wee museum or book in for a class. Opening hours: Wed, Thurs & Sat – 10am to 5pm Web. www.wemyssneedlework.com
