Dunfermline

Dunfermline is also the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie, the industrialist and philanthropist. As a child growing up in Dunfermline, Andrew Carnegie was forbidden from playing in the grounds of the Pittencrieff Estate by the Laird.   In 1902, after becoming a successful industrialist, Andrew Carnegie bought the house and estate, and donated the whole property to the city as a public park where all the children could play.   Today, Pittencrieff Glen is a beautifully landscaped park and contains a statue of Andrew Carnegie.
