Best central

The City Hotel has a long history and is centrally located. It is deceptively large compared to what can be seen from street level.

Very Central



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.

Travel Tips for Dunfermline

Royal Burgh

by margaretvn

Culross
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.

Andrew Carnegie

by margaretvn

Visit the Carnegie Birthplace Museum.
Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline and his home is now a very interesting museum showing his life and works. He and his family moved to Pennsylivania when Andrew was in his teens. There he made his fortune in iron and steel. He became the wealthiest man in the world and donated $350 million for the benefit of mankind.

Carnegie Library

by stevezero

The Carnegie Library in Dunfermline was the first of many libraries aound the world to be built in honour of the great industrialist Andrew Carnegie.
Books and libraries were always an important part of Carnegie's life, beginning with his childhood in Scotland. There he listened to readings and discussions of books from the Tradesman's Subscription Library that his father helped create

Dunfermline,the Ancient Capital

by carfan

Not much is known about the earliest times in Dunfermline.Its name means "fortress by the crooked steam".

Dunferline was the ancient capital before the title was passed to Edinburgh.

Its a small town but worth exploring.All the sights mentioned are all within walking distance of one another.

Coupled with a wide range of shops in the Kingsgate Shppping Centre, Dunfermline has a lot to offer.

"Royal Residence"

In 1600 MalcolmIII known as Malcolm Canmore,chose Dunfermline to be his new royal residence.

The palace itself dates from the 13th Century and the ruins that you see today from the 16th Century.

The building wa started by James V and finished by James VI.

"Dunfermline Abbey"

Queen Margaret wanted to start a relgious community in Dunfermline.She organised for a new church to be built.

Three days after her husbands death, she herself died at Edinburgh Castle and was buried in her own church in Dunfermline.

Today you can visit the cave where she is said to have gone to pray.

Due to her faith and links with the Church in Rome, she was made a saint in 1250.

North and South Queensferry are so named as that is where Queen Margaret first landed when she came to Scotland.
