Craigluscar Activities in Dunfermline, Fife. Bought teenage kids Clay Pigeon shooting vouchers for Xmas. Their dad paid for himself on the day (credit cards accepted). Beautiful location despite the cold! Instructor, John, was engaging, patient and chatty. Very friendly atmosphere. Free tea and coffee to keep out the chill was much appreciated. Each of the three shooters got 25 shots (five at each of the three traps plus a practice shot) plus an extra five shots each at the end. Whole event lasted just over an hour and cost £35 per head.. All three are keen to go back again. Would highly recommend this activity to everyone. The perfect Xmas present! Wrap up warm if you go in the Winter although they do provide waterproof clothing on site as well as all the appropriate safety gear.

Dunfermline Abbey Nave is now open and we are delighted to welcome you back. Booking in advance is essential. Find out more and book at restarthistory.scot. Please note the palace remains closed at this time. Admire one of Scotland's most impressive medieval interiors and most important royal sites, founded as a priory in about 1080. Robert the Bruce was buried in the medieval choir, now beneath the Abbey church of 1821. St Margaret and David I are among a number of monarchs and other royalty laid to rest here. Charles I was born in the palace that grew up alongside the abbey.

We were very impressed by this place went not expecting too much as we know the palace was a ruin however the historic Scotland staff member really brought it to life. His knowledge and direction were superb. My daughter was given a quiz which kept her engaged while we were exploring. The nave of the abbey was beautiful, disappointing the the actual abbey was closed for winter so we were unable to visit the resting place of king Robert the Bruce we will definitely try and take a trip back at some point. There is a small museum just next to the abbey which is also worth a visit free entry and has a lovely tea room. Thumbs up from us!

The trees are now taking on their autumn colours, great photo opportunities, there is plenty of open and wooded areas for dogs to run about, there is a play area next to the main carpark( free to park but it is patrolled by parking attendants so remember to put your blue badge up in disabled bays and stay out of the coach bays if in a car) there is more parking available down at the pavilion where you will find a cafe and toilets. Outside to the left of the cafe are more public toilets and further on the museum and a heated hothouse full of tropical plants and fish. To the left of the public toilets walk under the stone bridge to get to the Glen (where there are the most squirrels waiting to be fed). Beware of the bridge in the Glen the walls either side aren't very tall and the drop on either side is very high.
