A royal stronghold once rose from Dunfermline’s rocky heart, shaping centuries of drama beneath a green canopy still alive with secrets. This self-guided audio tour pulls back the curtain on Scotland’s ancient capital, leading you through storied glens and silent museums where most visitors only glimpse the surface.

What hidden message is carved in the shadowed stones of Malcolm’s Tower? Who vanished after a bitter 19th-century dispute in Pittencrieff Park’s misty morning light? And why are peacocks forever woven into a philanthropist’s legacy?

Stride from fortress ruins to lush parkland and onwards to the birthplace of industry itself. Along winding paths and past iron gates, relive battles for power, whispered scandals and the daring spirits who challenged fate right here. Each step brings revelations that recast Dunfermline in dazzling new light.

Ready to uncover what lies beneath Dunfermline’s venerable stones? The city’s hidden history awaits.
