I visited the “city” of Dunfermline yesterday and I don’t think I could ever live there. Pros and cons, obviously.

Pros:

  • Nice buildings and, unlike Edinburgh (an actual city), fully unencumbered by tourists. You can actually walk about.
  • The Carnegie birthplace museum is FREE and very interesting, although if you lived there, it could only bear so many visits.
  • Pittencrieff Park. Aye – very nice.

Cons:

  • Fifers puking up in graveyards due to adverse effect of booze… at one o’clock in the afternoon. Good grief.
  • Insane town-planning which has resulted in motorway-like curved roads through the “city” centre. It genuinely felt like a dangerous place to walk around.
  • Town has been built on a big slope. Whole “city” is semi-vertical. Makes you dizzy.

What do you think? Have you ever lived in Dunfermline? What’s it like? I’ll stick to North Edinburgh for now.
