Dunfermline has been a busy commercial centre for hundreds of years, trading far and wide and providing goods and services for local people and visitors from many places.
Dunfermline was made a Royal Burgh in the 1120s by King David I and this helped to set the economic importance of the town as it was then. David brought traders and craftsmen and women from Flanders, France and England to live and work and make Dunfermline a prosperous place.
Since then Dunfermline has seen the rise and fall of important industries such as coal mining and textiles which have left a legacy with some impressive and interesting buildings which have been preserved and repurposed and are still in use today.
