Abstract
This report is based on the findings from an extended, participatory investigation into the variety of communities and range of social values associated with Kinneil House in Bo'ness. It provides some background to the site and research process, summarises the findings, and considers the potential implications. Kinneil House is located within a 200-acre Estate. The values associated with the House are inextricably linked to its setting and the study therefore also includes the Estate as part of the wider site. The research was undertaken as part of the collaborative PhD project, Wrestling with Social Value: An Examination of Methods and Approaches for Assessing Social Value in Heritage Management and Conservation.
