Places to see in ( Dunfermline - UK )
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

Lothian Buses provides bus services within the city and to outlying suburbs. A good nightbus service operates from midnight until early morning. You must have exact change for all journeys. The busiest bus stops have ticket machines where you can buy tickets, at a slight discount, before boarding.

In central Edinburgh, it is best to walk, cycle or use public transport. Visitors who do bring a car should be aware that traffic in the city centre is often congested and parking can be problematic. Metered parking (in force Monday to Saturday 0830-1830) is restricted on city streets; almost all other street parking-spaces in and around the centre are reserved for residents with parking permits. Failure to comply with parking regulations will result in a costly fine and the offending vehicle may even be towed away.

Car hire:
Drivers require a valid national driving licence to hire a car in the UK, although an International Driving Permit may be preferred if the licence is not in English. It is important to check what level of insurance is included in the price of car hire. In general, drivers have to be over 23 to hire a car.

Winter Drive From Cowdenbeath Fife To Kinross Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with music, mainly on the B996 road, from the HIgh Street in Cowdenbeath, Fife, to the High Street on ancestry visit to Kinross, Perthshire.The B996 is not the fastest road from this part of into Fife into the Perthshire, but it certainly used to be. Before the construction of the parallel M90 motorway, this was the only serious road north towards Perth. The B996 number has now been used for all the sections of former A90 that weren't candidates for transference to another A road; consequently the road appears and disappears, hidden under a handful of other routes. So all the B996 is doing is joining up the dots; a bit unfair really for a road which was so important for so long.
