A tip from your local expert

Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum

The Andrew Carnegie Birthplace is a must see in Dunfermline. Visit the original weavers cottage where he was born, with a museum about his life. Andrew Carnegie also gifted the Pittencreiff Park to Dunfermline, which is also worth a visit.
