Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1835 and, although he left for the United States before the age of thirteen, he still remembered his place of birth with a great deal of fondness throughout his life. After making his fortune, he donated the Carnegie library and public swimming baths and set up the Carnegie DunfermlineTrust with an endowment of $2.5 million. Part of the Trust's work in Dunfermline included the establishment of a Music Institution.
