Carnegie Hall is an Art Deco theatre located in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.[1] It was named after the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who was born in Dunfermline.[2][3] Designed by architects Muirhead and Rutherford,[4] it was officially opened in 1937 and was designated a Category B listed building in 1993.[5]
Billy Connolly recorded his 1976 album Atlantic Bridge at both at the Dunfermline theatre and at Carnegie Hall in New York.[4]
The Music Institute, which is adjoined to Carnegie Hall, was once called Benachie House and was converted into the institute between 1933 and 1937.[6] The original house dates from around 1865.[7]
