DUNFERMLINE
The largest town in Fife, Dunfermline is packed with
heritage and history, and it’s increasingly popular with
buyers setting up home. Here’s just a few reasons why…
FASCINATING HISTORY SURROUNDS RESIDENTS
Did you know that Dunfermline was a former Capital
of Scotland? The reins were handed to Edinburgh
in the 1400s, but the architecture of this fine town
reveals its illustrious past. Dunfermline Abbey, dating
from the 11th century, is particularly remarkable (it’s
also the burial place of Robert the Bruce). The elegant
Carnegie Library and Pittencrieff Park add to the
grandeur, while St Margaret’s Cave and the Neolithic
Standing Stones are standout attractions.
CLOSE LINKS TO EDINBURGH
Just 15 miles from the Capital, it’s easy to see why
commuters choose Dunfermline. There’s easy access
to the M90 for the Queensferry Crossing, and driving
into Edinburgh takes just 35 minutes. Public transport
is good too, with a bus station and two railway stations
that have regular links across the country.
