The City Hotel has a long history and is centrally located. It is deceptively large compared to what can be seen from street level.
Unique Quality: In the very heart of Dunfemline, the City Hotel provides ample food and accomodation close to town clock and the gates to Pittencrief Park (the Glen) which was gifted to the town by Andrew Carnegie along with Dunfermline Library and the Park Museum.

I am coming from the bus station, dunfermline
I suspect this may be difficult. It's not too far from Dunfermline so you might consider taking a taxi, although this will not be especially cheap.
Why not email the farm directly on brenda@craigluscarfarm.co.uk ? I'm certain they'll be happy to give you the help you need.
will do thanks
The local tip is just along the road from this farm and that's only about a 5 minute drive from bus station. There are not likely to be any buses going directly to the farm but a taxi should not cost more than £10 and there is a rank at the rear of the bus station beside the Post Office.

Among the old buildings and the cobbled streets of this Royal Burgh on the River Forth you can relive the life of the 16th and 17th century. There is a refurbished palace and garden which date back to 1597. An exhibition and video in the Town house show something of the burgh’s 400 year history. It is a charming little place.
