We were delighted to welcome U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom Warren A. Stephens to the Museum last week, celebrating the announcement of the first-ever U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation grant awarded in the UK.

This £40,620 grant will support our partnership with CyArk to create a new interactive digital experience, helping audiences around the world explore Andrew Carnegie’s birthplace cottage, Pittencrieff Park and the places that shaped his remarkable transatlantic legacy.

It was a privilege to share the story of Carnegie’s Scottish roots and to mark this exciting moment for cultural preservation, digital heritage and the enduring friendship between Scotland and the United States.
