Straight Outta Dunfermline - Gift for Scot, Scotsmen, Scotswomen, From Dunfermline in Scotland Scottish

The view from just inside the Louise Carnegie Gates of Pittencrieff Park, looking back up the High Street in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The skyline is dominated by the tower of Dunfermline City Chambers. This building was historically designed to be the centre of local government in Dunfermline. In more recent times most of these functions have been devolved to other locations, but [as of 2008] the impressive edifice still houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline's Registrar Office. The building, constructed in the period 1875-79, was created by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It employs a harmonious composite of French, Gothic and Scots baronial architectural styles.

The remains of Malcolm Canmore's (King Malcolm III) Tower can be found in the grounds of Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The foundation walls of this fortress date from the second half of the 11th century when Malcolm built his royal residence in the town. During his 35-year reign he and his wife Margaret (daughter of Edward Atheling, claimant to the English throne) tried to create a united and civilized nation, however, he fell victim to an ambush at Alnwick, Northumberland in 1093. Not much is left, but it was originally a two storey building, measuring 52 by 48 feet, and is believed to have contained 20 small apartments. The tower is used in the Burgh Arms of the town.

Just to the south of Dunfermline's High Street lies one of Scotland's most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today.

The gatehouse and pend which link Dunfermline Palace and Abbey. Some of the palace remains are just over the fence on the right, while some of the remains of the Abbey are behind the Gatehouse. Dunfermline Palace is a former Scottish Royal Palace in Dunfermline, Fife. It is currently a ruin under the care of Historic Scotland and an important tourist attraction in Dunfermline. Dunfermline was a favourite residence of many Scottish monarchs. Documented history of royal residence there begins in the 11th century with Malcolm III who made it his capital. His seat was the nearby Malcolm's Tower, a few hundred yards to the west of the later palace. In the medieval period David II and James I of Scotland were both born at Dunfermline.

The Refectory and Gatehouse, the surviving ruin of Dunfermline Abbey in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The gatehouse is built above a Pend (or Yett), one of Dunfermline’s medieval gates. The Abbey Church (out of shot on the right) has been rebuilt and serves the Church of Scotland community of Dunfermline. In 1068 AD, following The Battle of Hastings, the defeated English royal party with Margaret (born circa 1045 AD), daughter of Edward Atheling, claimant to the English throne, arrive at Dunfermline at the court of Malcolm III. Margaret was married to King Malcolm III in a church at Dunfermline in 1070 AD. She liked the place so much she decided to set up a religious community here, bringing in Benedictine monks from Canterbury to form it.

This little dovecote or dovecot ( Scots: doocot ), in the style of a round tower, dating from around 1700, is located in Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.
