| About Dunfermline |
 Dunfermline's royal and monastic past dominates the town which boasts a royal palace, a 12th-century abbey (which is the final resting place of Robert the Bruce and the burial site of eleven other Scottish kings and queens), the restored 15th-century Abbot House and the cave in which St Margaret bathed the feet of the poor. King Malcolm Canmore established his court after the death of Macbeth at the now ruined fortified tower in the heart of Pittencrieff Glen. Dunfermline was also the birthplace of James I in 1394 and of Charles I in 1600. Along the coast lies Limekilns, the ancient port of the Benedictine monks of Dunfermline. Follow the coastal walkway east, past the magnificence of the Forth Bridges, to Aberdour, with its fine castle, granted by Robert the Bruce to his nephew in the 14th century.
Andrew Carnegie (25 November 1835 – 11 August 1919, born in Dunfermline) was a Scottish-American businessman, one of the captains of industry of 19th century America, a major philanthropist and the founder of the Carnegie Steel Company which later became U.S. Steel. He is known for having, later in his life, given away most of his riches to fund the establishment of many libraries, schools and universities in Scotland, America and worldwide for "the improvement of mankind." |
