Bennie Museum

The Bennie Museum opened on 20th May 1989 as a museum of Bathgate’s history and life. It is run entirely by Volunteers under the management of a Charitable Trust.

It has been commended by the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions.

Special exhibitions are mounted on a regular basis, covering subjects as diverse as the annual Newlands Day Procession, local anniversaries, and subjects of general interest, such as toys.

The museum organises public lectures on specific subjects twice a year. These are normally held in May and November, in the Regal Theatre, Bathgate. Further details are available by telephoning the museum.

Educational visits are welcome, and can be guided by a qualified teacher.
