Slàinte Mhath to Burns Night!

Did you know Dunfermline’s got its own wee nod to Rabbie Burns? In the grounds of Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries, you’ll find the statues of Tam O' Shanter and his old pal Souter Johnnie, carved in 1823 by Robert Forrest.

One of the earliest stone tributes to Burns 💙

Old shop signs, worn stonework and little details of the village’s past.

The Community Gallery has been busy this weekend with visitors keen to see Charlie Marshall's exhibition, 'A Journey Through Dunfermline'. We couldn't resist asking Charlie to pose next to one of our favourites as he set things up last week. The details in this painting of a bustling Bridge Street almost make you feel like you're there. Swift one at the Seven Kings, anyone? 😉

A Journey Through Dunfermline runs until 21 January 2026. Entrance is free.

The Glen looks incredible in Winter and the old steam engine always feels extra atmospheric on winter nights.

Did you know this wee “Pug” once worked in the Fife coal industry before settling here in 1988? Thanks to volunteers it’s still a much-loved part of the park today.

A cosy winter walk must-see🚂❄
