Hotels in Dunfermline
The history of Dunfermline goes back almost 1,000 years and has been the birthplace of several Scottish Kings. The town is the historic capital of Scotland, and Malcolm Canmore his wife Saint Margaret and Robert The Bruce are all buried in Dunfermline Abbey.
The history of Dunfermline goes back to a remote period, for the Culdees had an establishment here. The name comes from the Gaelic "Dùn Fearam Linn" which translates as "the fort in the bend of the stream". There is no documentary evidence for the name being derived from 'Parlan' or anything of the sort, other than the modern form of the name in Scottish Gaelic. The monks of the abbey called the Tower Burn, 'Aqua de Ferme' and the 'Ferm' element in the name dates back to documents of the eleventh century.
The cities increased fame and prosperity date from the marriage of Malcolm Canmore and his Queen Margaret, which took place in the town in 1070. The king then lived in a tower on a mound surrounded on three sides by the glen. A fragment of this castle still exists in Pittencrieff Park, a little west of the later palace.
Modern day Dunfermline town centre is a modern pedestrianised area with a shopping centre in the high street, current projects are underway to enhance the current services and facilities.
