| Population:
56,000; 460 miles (736 kilometres) north of London (5 hours by rail,
10 hours by coach). Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland,
boasts a famous ancient abbey and a lovely park. It lies on the northern
side of the Firth of Forth, only 16 miles north of Edinburgh, and
at the southern gateway to the Scottish Highlands. It is, therefore,
ideally situated for visits to Edinburgh and to some of the most beautiful
scenery of Scotland, as well as to Glasgow and to St Andrew's and
the Fife coast. |
