Advantages: Nice town, plenty shops, convenient location

Disadvantages: Nothing major...

Dunfermline is a large town in west Fife. It was once Scotland''s capital and therefore has quite a rich history. The history of the town can be seen in detail by visiting Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, Abbot House and St Margarets Cave. Dunfermline is also the birth place of Andrew Carnegie and the original Carnegie Hall is here. You can also find out more about this amazing man by visiting the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum. You can also enjoy Pittencrieff Park (gifted to the town by Carnegie) which is a beautiful big park with play facilities and a small museum - lovely for a wander on a sunny day! Dunfermline is also a busy town with many small and large businesses. The shopping centre has just been refurbished with a large new Debenhams store alongside most other chain shops you would expect to find. There are also a couple of retail parks offering shops such as Comet, Pets At Home, Asda, etc. The town has many schools and also benefits from having a large college. An easy commute to Edinburgh (approx 30 mins) and Perthj (1 hour approx) and also handy for the many other towns and villages of Fife.

Summary: Nice town, good sized, good facilities
