Scotland Top Tips
Best-laid plans go astray
Despite how much ever you plan, you are bound to make mistakes while booking the flight/hotel tickets or missing out on making a note of the sightseeing timings. This doesn’t mean you don’t plan your trip well; it’s always advisable to research the place in terms of stay, food, culture, and transport, especially if it’s a budget trip. But sometimes mistakes can make you lucky too, the luckiest mistake we did was by booking our hotel Holiday inn express in Dunfermline instead of Edinburgh.
The heavy suitcases and train infrequency did hinder us to reach there but the town was quite peaceful and beautifully decked up with small houses, along the roadside.

Dunfermline streets 
Day 5 | 16th May | Dunfermline:-
Best time to visit – The best time to visit is March to May and September as there would be less or no precipitation with moderately cold temperatures. If you want to enjoy snow in Dunfermline, plan your travel in February.
Places to see –
Pittencrieff Park – A walk in Pittencrieff park was a wonderful delight. The Glen pavilion in the park is the venue for major events like weddings and corporate conferences. You would also see the Andrew Carnegie statue, who purchased the park and opened it for locals of Dunfermline to repose. Chilly weather and with no one around out of the minuscule 50,000 inhabitants of Dunfermline, the park was immaculate and serene.
Some other places to see are Dunfermline Abbey, Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum, and flashing Forth bridge, which due to paucity of time we preferred to skip.
Places to eat –
The Viceroy fine dining – If you are craving Indian food, this is the place to go. Spacious dining room with an orderly food presentation and the staff was quite friendly. The Bangladeshi owner came to chit-chat with us. Also, other restaurants suggested by the Holiday inn receptionist were Carlucci, Anitoch, and Tiffany’s bar and restaurant.
