Celebrate heritage
We shine a light on Dunfermline Abbey, Pittencrieff Park, Carnegie Library & Galleries, and hidden closes with fresh context.
About us
We are Dunfermline storytellers
Proud locals sharing royal history, new music, hidden gems, and the people who keep the Auld Grey Toun buzzing.
Our story
Visit Dunfermline grew from a group of friends determined to shout about our city. Dunfermline, affectionately called the Auld Grey Toun, may have been crowned a city in 2022, but its royal roots stretch back a thousand years.
Our team, led by lifelong Dunfermline native Billy George, brings a uniquely Fife perspective on history, music, arts, and everyday life. We dig through archives, chase down stories from neighbours, and capture the community spirit that keeps Dunfermline buzzing.
What drives us
