DUNFERMLINE landmarks have been included in a new campaign encouraging people to enjoy train travel.

Visit Scotland has launched an advertising initiative promoting a route connecting all of Scotland's historic cities by train. Leaving Edinburgh, the journey heads to Dunfermline where it shows off the area's urban charm with rural tranquility.

The train edges Dalmeny Estate and a quick stop at Dalmeny station, providing views of the Forth Bridge before it gets to ancient landmarks like Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum, and outdoor spaces like Pittencrieff Park and the the Fife Pilgrim Way.

Vicki Miller, VisitScotland Director of Marketing and Digital, said they hope the campaign will demonstrate how easy it is to explore Scotland’s historic cities in a sustainable way.

“We know that many visitors are becoming more conscious of their impact on the world around. Our hope through this campaign is to demonstrate how easy it is to explore Scotland’s historic cities in a sustainable way," she said.

"From our ancient capital Edinburgh to our newest city Dunfermline, Scotland’s cities offer the very best of our country’s history, heritage and culture, boasting some of the finest eateries, world class attractions, unmissable experiences and of course, our welcoming people.”
