Dunfermline was once Scotland's ancient capital!
And Robert The Bruce, Scotland's powerful king and other Scottish monarchs rest in our Abbey.
Yet Dunfermline has far more than Scottish history to offer locals and visitors.
Take our legendary live music scene. As well as birthing rock giants like Nazareth and Big Country, over the years we've hosted...
David Bowie. Elton John. The Clash. The Yardbirds. The Dutch College Swing Band. Cream. Deep Purple. Acker Bilk. Boney M. Thin Lizzy and thousands more in venues like the Ballroom to KT Tunstall and Franz Ferdinand at PJ Molloys.
The food here is fabulous too...
Our food culture and local eateries are blossoming from Scotlands best Steak Bridies (Beloved of Barak Obama too btw!) to perfect Turkish Lamb and more.
