Where can I go for a walk?
The ship arrives in an industrial dock, so there are no immediate scenic walks. The courtesy shuttle service will take you to Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland, where walks are available in the beautiful Pittencrieff Park, donated to the city by Andrew Carnegie. Guided walks, and walks along the Fife Coastal Path, are also available. Find out more about walks in the area »Do the taxis take credit cards?
