Andrew Carnegie bought Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline in 1902 and gave it to the town the following year. The park has an aviary with resident peacocks, and an orchard and sensory garden looked after by the Friends of Pittencrieff Park.
Fife is a big area and our coverage here is thin. Local guides stop at Dunfermline dog sitters and groomers; every other line below goes to a UK-wide page.

Before you set off
Many Fife walks cross farmland or coast. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code asks you to keep your dog under proper control, on a short lead or beside you around farm animals, and from roughly April to July to be careful where birds nest on the ground. We couldn’t find a clear dog policy for Pittencrieff Park, so check the signs on arrival.
Car journeys across the Forth
If car journeys across the Forth leave your dog unsettled, Calmshops has Calmdogs calming bites to look at. It’s a complementary feed, not a replacement for advice, so speak to your vet if your dog’s behaviour worries you.
