Dunfermline is a town and former Royal Burgh, and parish, in Fife, Scotland, on high ground 3 miles from the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. From about the fifteenth century coal and limestone had been extracted in the area around Dunfermline, at first on a very small and localised scale. As the agricultural revolution gathered pace the demand for lime (for improving land) increased the requirement for coal to burn it.
Dunfermline was first recorded in the 11th century, with the marriage of Malcolm III, King of Scotland, and Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline. As his Queen consort, Margaret established a new church dedicated to the Holy Trinity, which evolved into an Abbey under their son, David I in 1128. Following the burial of Alexander I in 1160, the abbey graveyard confirmed its status as the burial place of Scotland's kings and queens up to and including Robert The Bruce in 1329.
Dunfermline is a major service centre for west Fife. Dunfermline retains much of its historic significance, as well as providing facilities for leisure. Employment is focused in the service sector, with the largest employer being Sky UK. Other large employers in the area include Amazon (on-line retailer), Best Western (hotels), CR Smith (windows manufacturing), FMC Technologies (offshore energy), Lloyds and Nationwide (both financial services).
Dunfermline Abbey on the Kirkgate is one of the best examples of Scoto-Norman monastic architecture. The main Dunfermline War Memorial on Monastery Street was unveiled by the Lord Lieutenant of Fife, Sir Ralph Anstruther in 1925. A Second World War Memorial and garden of remembrance were added in 1958 on a site assumed to have been home to the Apiaries of the Monastery.
To the north of the abbey, on the corner of Maygate and Abbot Street is the Category A listed Abbot House. This is the oldest secular building still standing in Dunfermline. Along Abbot Street is the Category B listed Dunfermline Carnegie Library which was built between 1881–1883. At the top of Moodie Street is the Category B listed handloom weavers' cottage, the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie which dates from the early 18th century. Just off East Port between Carnegie Hall and the High Street is Viewfield House, a large square stone Palladian three storey villa, built in about 1808 for James Blackwood, Provost of Dunfermline, and now a listed building.
Guildhall on the High Street was erected in 1807 by the guilds of the local merchants who were ambitious for Dunfermline to become the county town of Fife. City Chambers with its 36-metre-high (118 ft) high central clock tower and turrets, designed by James Campbell Walker and built between 1876–1879 .
In the car park between Bruce Street and Chambers Street is St Margaret's Cave, a place where she would retreat to pray in peace and quiet. orming the main entrance to Pittencrieff Park at the junction of Bridge Street and Chalmers Street is the Category A listed Louise Carnegie Memorial Gates, otherwise known as the Glen Gates. The gates which opened in 1929 were paid for by the Dunfermline Carnegie Trust and named after Louise Carnegie, the wife of Andrew Carnegie. Pittencrieff House, built around 1610 for Sir William Clerk of Penicuik, was designed as a centre piece.
Pitfirrane Castle, to the west of Dunfermline, was once the seat of the Halkett family. The castle which dates from the 16th century, was purchased by the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust in 1951 for the use as a clubhouse for Dunfermline Golf Club. To the south of Dunfermline is the Category A listed Hill House and Pitreavie Castle. Both dating from the mid-17th century, Hill House was built as a residence for William Monteith of Randford and Pitreavie Castle as a manor house by Sir Hendry Wardlaw. To the south-west of Dunfermline is the Category A listed Logie House, built as an Edwardian residence and seat for the Hunt family

Dunfermline - Abbey - Robert The Bruce Last Resting Place.
Dunfermline Scots: Dunfaurlin, Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Phàrlain) is a town and former Royal Burgh in Fife, Scotland, on high ground 3 miles (4.8 km) from the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. According to a 2008 estimate, Dunfermline has a population of 46,430, making it the second-biggest settlement in Fife. The town's name comes from the Gaelic words dun (meaning fortified hill), fearam (crooked) and linn (stream). The area around Dunfermline became home to the first settlers in the Neolithic period, but did not gain recognition, until the Bronze Age as a place of importance. The town was first recorded in the 11th century, with the marriage of Malcolm III, King of Scotland and Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline. As his Queen consort, Margaret established a new church dedicated to the Holy Trinity which evolved into an Abbey under their son, David I in 1128. The graveyard of this abbey would become the burial place for many of Scotland's kings and queens.
There have been various interpretations of the name, Dunfermline.[5] The first element, dun translated from Gaelic, has been accepted as a (fortified) hill, which it is assumed to be referring to the rocky outcrop as the site of Malcolm Canmore's tower in Pittencrieff Glen (now Pittencrieff Park).[6] The rest of the name is problematic.[6] The second element, the ferm may have been an alternative name for the tower burn according to a medieval record published in 1455 and that together with the Lyne Burn to the south, suggest the site of a fortification between these two watercourses.[5][6]
The first record of a settlement in the Dunfermline area was in the Neolithic period. This evidence includes finds of a stone axe; some flint arrowheads and a carved stone ball which was found near the town.[7] A cropmark which is understood to have been used as a possible mortuary enclosure has been found at Deanpark House, also near the town. By the time of the Bronze Age, the area was beginning to show some importance. Important finds included a bronze axe in Wellwood and a gold torc from the Parish Churchyard.[7] Cist burials from the Bronze Age have also been discovered at both Crossford and Masterton, the latter of which contains a pair of armlets, a bronze dagger and a set necklace believed to have complemented a double burial.[7]
The first historic record for Dunfermline was made in the 11th century.[8] According to the fourteenth-century chronicler, John of Fordun, Malcolm III, King of Scotland (reign 1058--93) married his second bride, the Anglo-Hungarian princess, Saint Margaret at the church in Dunfermline between 1068 and 1070;[9] the ceremony was performed by Forhad, the last Celtic bishop of St Andrews.[8][10]
Birth: Jul. 11, 1274
Death: Jun. 7, 1329
Scottish monarch. The son of Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick and Marjory of Carrick, he was a descendant of Alexander II, King of Scots. He was married to Isabella of Mar in 1295, and Elizabeth DeBurgh in 1302. He was the father of two sons and three daughters. Around 1298, when Scotland was under English rule, he was appointed a Guardian of Scotland along with John Comyn. It was discovered that Comyn intended to sell out his country and become a puppet king under Edward I, and Bruce killed him in 1306. He was then taken to Scone and crowned Robert I in March. He then began a guerilla war against Edward I. While not initially successful, he gradually gained support and captured several castles. In 1314, at the Battle of Bannockburn, although vastly outnumbered, he defeated the English forces. King Edward II agreed to sign the Treaty of Edinburgh in 1328, recognizing Scotland's independence. Gravely ill with leprosy, Bruce died at Cardross the following year. His body was entombed at Dunfermline Abbey, while his embalmed heart was taken on Crusade by Sir James Douglas (Black Douglas) before being returned to Scotland and entombed at Melrose Abbey.

Around Scotland - Dunfermline and 'The Lost Tomb'
This was a fantastic day in the town of Dunfermline in Fife. With its Abbey, history, stories of Kings and Queens and heritage this place is excellent if you love your history. The Lost Tomb had to be found though :)
If you do decide to go to the abbey the staff are wonderful. So informative and helpful. The park is safe and tidy and the Andrew Carnegie thread is fully sewn through the town.
All in all a grand day out :) :)

Why I hate Broadcasters treating Wales, Scotland & N. Ireland as foreign countries outside England
As I have said in the video, any UK broadcaster such as the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 or Sky or any other broadcaster or likewise any production company that makes programmes for any broadcaster, I get really annoyed with watching any kind of lifestyle or documentary programme or anything in the news where there's a story that involves somewhere in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland and instead of saying the place name - be it a village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, rather than the voice-over or presenter saying that place name in Wales (say Carmarthen), Scotland (say Dunfermline) or Northern Ireland (say Ballymena), they just say maybe the county or region of Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland or they'll be even lazier and just say Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland instead.
I don't know whether the presenter is simply can't pronounce the place name or is too scared to pronounce the place name outside of England but within the UK incorrectly and cause complaints or just either the presenter or production company just don't want to mention the place name because they consider it to be too foreign and they are biased towards England and want to make it seem that the place is in a foreign country which Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland are not foreign countries when compared to England!
If it was say Peterborough in England, the voice-over or presenter would never just say England. They might on occasions say Cambridgeshire but they would never just say England.
Therefore why does the voice-over or presenter have to generalize and just say Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland instead of saying the name of the village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland? Or say the county or region the village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland is in?
I'll tell you why! Because UK broadcasters are all biased and treat anywhere outside England as foreign countries when we aren't!
We all speak the same language and we all use the same currency and we all drive on the left and have the same broadcasters pretty much and have similar laws except the one that are devolved by the Northern Irish and Scottish Parliaments and Welsh assembly.
Therefore any UK broadcaster or production company from now on, any TV or Radio programme where somewhere in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland gets a mention, I want to hear that Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish place name said and I do not want to hear just the county or region of Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland said or just Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland said.
Please do something about this with immediate effect.
Thank You,
Stuart Owens

MOD Lyneham 2019 Remembrance Sunday Parade - British Army
Sunday, November 10th 2019. Remembrance Sunday is a time when we look back and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
MOD Lyneham, home of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, held their service at the location of the REME Museum. Personal from 8 Training Battalion and Royal Marines stationed there, after marching over one thousand service personal strong thought the village of Lyneham, assembled in a hollowed square where service was held, and all conducted a two minute silence.
Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom as a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts It is held at 11am on the second Sunday in November (the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War in 1918).
The focus of remembrance for the dead of the First World War originally fell on Armistice Day itself, commencing in 1919. As well as the National Service in London, events were staged at town and village war memorials, often featuring processions of civic dignitaries and veterans.
The first UK commemoration of the end of World War 1 at Buckingham Palace, with King George V hosting a Banquet in Honour of The President of the French Republic . A two minute silence was observed at 11am on 11 November 1919.
The following year, Armistice Day in 1920, the funeral of Unknown Soldier took place at the London Cenotaph and a two minute silence was observed throughout the nation. Buses halted, electricity was cut to tram lines, and even trading on the city of London Stock Exchange halted.
1921, the Royal British Legion began selling Remembrance Poppies to raise money for ex-service men. While for some, Armistice Day was a day for recognising the horrors of war, never to be repeated; for others the day symbolised the honour of military service.
Black Site media commissioned by 8 Training Battalion to document the event for archive and for regional news distribution.

Bruce Close, Wisbech - commemoration ceremony on Remembrance Sunday 2011
Four Wisbech brothers all died in action in the service of their country during the Second World War. No other Wisbech family made such a sacrifice. Reginald and Arthur Bruce were killed in Normandy, Thomas Bruce died at Dunkirk and George Bruce died when his destroyer was torpedoed.
Some years ago Colin Malkin, nephew of the brothers, read in one of the local newspapers that the local council had decided to mark the Falklands conflict by naming new developments in the town after the sites of some of the significant battles. In a letter to the editor he made it known that he thought the council should first of all properly honour the sons of Wisbech killed during the Second World War and he began his campaign to gain recognition for his four uncles. It has been a long campaign, fought in the best of British traditions -- he never gave up. Failure would have been easy. There was little interest or encouragement from official sources and, had he not been so persistent, his efforts could easily have been in vain. He kept plugging away -- letters to the press, nudging the council. Just before this very day last year we contacted the then vice chairman of Fenland District Council, Cllr Michael Humphrey, who, we discovered, was to be laying the council wreath at Wisbech War Memorial. We asked him to pay particular attention to the names of the fallen on that memorial, and especially the name Bruce.
He was intrigued and soon became aware of the story of the Bruce brothers. He vowed to help. After a couple more false starts along came a planning application from Mark Turner, Sheila Turner and Bob Mitchell for this housing development. Cllr Humphrey seized the opportunity and the developers immediately agreed to the name Bruce Close. The Brothers' name will live on in Wisbech. Bruce Close will be here long after we have gone. And, in the future, people will want to know why Bruce Close is so called. They will wonder who it is named after and, because some people will always be intrigued, they will discover the heroic story of Wisbech's Bruce brothers.
They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We will remember them.

REMEMBRANCE DAY Black Watch Memorial, Powrie Brae, Dundee, Scotland
REMEMBRANCE DAY
Black Watch Memorial, Powrie Brae
A monument to the north of Dundee off the main road from Dundee to Forfar, at the bottom of Powrie Brae, the Black Watch Memorial was erected in memory of those 440 men recruited from Dundee and Angus to serve in the Black Watch (4th and 5th Battalions) who died during the Second World War. Unveiled in 1959 by HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (1900 - 2002), in front of 3000 people, the bronze memorial takes the form of a soldier in Black Watch service uniform looking down over the city. The memorial was moved during the mid-1980s because its original site had become isolated by the building of the new A90 dual-carriageway. Following a £12,000 restoration, managed by the Black Watch Association, the memorial was re-dedicated in 2009 by HRH Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay, in his position as Royal Colonel of the Black Watch Battalion.
