03 Nov 04 - 07:25 PM (#1315798) Subject: RE: Dunfermline & Folk in Fife From: Maryrrf Dunfermline really is very attractive and interesting for a visitor. All the history and the old buildings. I really enjoyed it. I guess if you live there you just take it all for granted. After seeing Dunfermline, I was surprised it wasn't on more tourist itineraries. |
