They say your past may return to haunt you

Returning to a well kent place was for me a real treasure. Following my own footsteps - re living moments and remembering the past no ghost's to lay bare only happy memories.

The Ancient Capital of Scotland

The real plus here is Dunfermline is only fifteen minutes away from Scotlands Capital Edinburgh. You could find yourself so near yet so far away.

The lost village of my childhood

As well as visiting the Historic Town I came to see my home village not far but today far removed.

 I've enjoyed this very personal and nostalgic tour with you, Joan. We visited Edinburgh, but to think Dunfermline was just 'up the road' a little! Oh well, maybe 'next time'!

 I worked with many men from the Glencraig and Mary pits. I was in the Nellie pit and when it closed, like all the other small ones, we were transferred to the Longannet complex..Cowdenbeath where I grew up is a ghost town.

 You grew up surrounded by beauty - no wonder you love nature so much. Wonderful page about lovely places. And Gaelic coffee must be what I know as Irish coffee - delicious.

 Great that you could re-visit your home village and the places you remember from your childhood! I've been to concerts in Carnegie Hall -- but only the one in New York, not Dunfermline.
