While you’re there
Dunfermline is well worth a visit to see some of the deeper roots of Scotland’s history.
The mother of William Wallace is buried under a thorn tree in the grounds of Dunfermline Abbey – and dogs will enjoy a visit here too as the attractive café by the Abbot’s House provides big bowls of dog water.
Dunfermline is the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie, and the town now has a house museum for the local weaver’s son who rose to become one of the richest men in the USA.
On the way back to the car park, look out for the entrance in the corner to the underground cave where St Margaret once prayed.
