Grange Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast

Grange Farmhouse is set in farm land one mile to the south of Dunfermline, with an open outlook towards the River Forth. Originally the site was occupied by a ferm toun which most probably supplied agricultural produce to the monks of Dunfermline Abbey back in the 12th and 13th centuries. The house was built in the 19th century and ceased to be part of a working farm in the 1950s; it has been converted into a family home and during the past 20 years the present owners have extended the property and modified and redecorated the interior to a high standard of comfort and convenience.

Mary and Tom extend a warm welcome to you to come to stay at Grange Farmhouse.

DUNFERMLINE

A mile to the north of Grange Farmhouse is Dunfermline, ancient capital of Scotland. The town assumed prominence in the 11th century with the arrival of King Malcolm Canmore who first built a fortress against the Picts and then, with Queen Margaret, added a priory. This was later expanded to be an abbey with the arrival of Black
Monks from Canterbury, who supplanted the original Culdee Monks. Later kings residing in Dunfermline provided funds for a palace which was burned down by King Edward of England, rebuilt until trashed during the reformation of the church in 1560. The legacy today is a magnificent
Norman Abbey, a Church of Scotland and the palace ruins.

Other 'must sees' in Dunfermline are the Carnegie
Birthplace Museum and the Abbot House Heritage Centre all within a quarter of a mile of each other. A little further afield is the village of Culross (Cuileann Ros - Gaelic for Holly Point) allegedly the childhood home of St. Mungo the patron saint of Glasgow. The village has a restored merchant's house and a town house with a clock tower built during the 17th century at a time when Culross
was an important coal and salt producer. A visitor
centre and access to houses are run by the National Trust for Scotland.

A range of brochures giving details of many local
attractions are available in house and we will be pleased to give guidance about other destinations which you have in mind.


We are close to the national motorway network; the nearest motorway, the M90, is two miles away and provides quick access to Edinburgh (15 miles) and Perth (30 miles).
Junctions with the M9 to Stirling (30 miles) and the M8 to Glasgow (45 miles) are within easy reach via the A90/A8000 link roads.

Bus and rail transport capability to most parts of
Scotland is readily available from Dunfermline coach and rail stations. A Park-and-Ride terminal at Ferrytoll, Inverkeithing (2 miles) provides a ten minute interval bus service to central Edinburgh.
