I thought Dunfermline Abby and Palace were important in Scottish history, but both the RS guide book and tours never mention this place. It's very close to Edinburgh and can take a local train service to get there. If you are familiar with this area what else is there to see? I'm heading there in late May/early June this year.

Hello Galavanter
We visited the area and really enjoyed it. In addition to Dunfermline Palace & Abbey there is Carnegie's birthplace museum, St Margaret's Cave, and the Carnegie Library and Galleries where we had a nice lunch in the cafe. Dunfermline seems a nice little town.
