Dunfermline

Dunfermline is a city in Fife and was once the capital of Scotland!

In May 2022, Dunfermline became Scotland's newest city as part of HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Our eighth city is located north of Edinburgh, just across the Forth Bridge.

Dunfermline is at the heart of Scotland's history and the royal and monastic past can be seen throughout the city.
