Not to be confused with its more illustrious namesake in New York this is a picture of The Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline. This moderately sized Theatre and Concert Hall was built in 1937 at a cost of £30000, it is still well used at the present time with regular performances by artists both amateur and professional. It is run by Fife Council.

Situated in Dunfermline's historic Maygate, Abbot House, with its pink walls, is one of the most distinctive as well as possibly the oldest building in the town. The house dates back to 1450 and in its time it has been an Abbot's home, a laird's mansion, an iron foundry an art school and a doctor's surgery. Since 1991 it has been run as a heritage centre by Dunfermline Heritage Trust.

This footbridge spans St. Margaret's Drive where it cuts through Dunfermline Public Park [[223414]] The ornamental fountain on the other side of the bridge is called The Donald Fountain because it was presented to Dunfermline in 1887 by Provost Donald. In Scotland a provost is the equivalent to a mayor elsewhere.
