The site of the historic capital of Scotland and the burial place of Robert the Bruce, the town of Dunfermline is one of the oldest in Scotland. When you visit here, it is easy to see the remains of old iron forts, Bronze Age settlements and an abbey that date back to the 12th century. The new parish church now stands where this abbey was located and the grave of Scotland’s hero, Robert the Bruce is buried beneath the pulpit. The famous American, Andrew Carnegie, was also born in Dunfermline. In spite of his wealth across the sea, he never forgot his hometown and made very generous gifts, such as Carnegie Centre, Pittencrieff Park, the town library and Lauder College. The Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum gives details about the life of one of the world’s richest men.
