Dunblane Museum houses a collection of artefacts, paintings, prints and photographs about the Cathedral and Dunblane, and has one of the largest collections of Communion tokens. It is situated right at the heart of the cathedral city of Dunblane. The museum building itself is an “A” listed building dating from 1624 when it is recorded as being the house of the Dean of the Cathedral, and variously a butcher’s shop and a chemical laboratory, until it became a museum in 1943. The museum contains extensive genealogical information from the burial records of all the Dunblane churches.
