Location
Dunfermline is situated on the north side of the Firth of Forth approximately 17 miles north west of Edinburgh. It benefits from excellent communications lying adjacent to the M9 motorway linking to Edinburgh and the south via the Forth Road Bridge and to Perth, Dundee and the Highlands in the north. There is also a regular rail service connecting directly with Edinburgh and to other towns in the region. The town has a population of circa 55,000 persons and a catchment in the order of 135,000 persons. Its proximity and accessibility to Edinburgh makes Dunfermline an increasingly popular alternative with commuters. The town is likely to grow over the next few years with the ongoing development of residential land to the east of the town.
