Pittencrieff Park

Had a beautiful afternoon in the amazing Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline, which we had never been to before and is probably one of the best parks we have ever seen, so so pretty and with so many interesting aspects to it.

Pittencrieff Park (known locally as "The Glen") is a public park in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It was purchased in 1902 by the town's most famous son, Andrew Carnegie, and gifted to the people of Dunfermline in a ceremony the following year.

Its lands include the historically significant and topologically rugged glen which interrupts the centre of Dunfermline and, accordingly, part of the intention of the purchase was to carry out civic development of the area in a way which also respected its heritage. The project notably attracted the attention of the urban planner and educationalist, Patrick Geddes.

The glen is an area of topographical and historical significance to Dunfermline as the original site of Malcolm's Tower, the probable remains of which can be identified today on a strongly defendable outcrop of rock. To the eastern side of the park is Dunfermline Palace with Dunfermline Abbey and to the west it overlooks the village of Crossford.

Couldn't resist blipping this lovely couple who were sitting by the side of the Lily Pond.

Hope everyone is having a super Saturday.
