IT was built with a bequest of £5000 from Elizabeth Duncan and now more than 150 years on the benefactor has been featured on a mural to marks her contribution. The Duncan Institute in Cupar, Fife, is due to reopen its doors today following a period of lockdown and at the end of last year it celebrated a milestone anniversary since it first opened in 1870. In 1867, Miss Duncan left £5000 – worth around £600,000 today – for the building of a ‘Mechanic’s Institute’ in her home town. A special mural to mark the anniversary was created by Scots artist Celie Byrne and will greet those returning to the historic library for the first time today.
