A day trip to Dunfermline from Edinburgh is short but full of history. The town is only about 30 kilometers north of Edinburgh, and the train from Edinburgh Waverley takes around 35 minutes. Trains run frequently, so it’s easy to go there for a relaxing day outside the capital.

On this trip you will visit Dunfermline, Perth & then end your trip at the Crannog Centre. Dunfermline was once the ancient capital of Scotland and is famous for its royal connections. When you arrive, you can start your visit at Dunfermline Abbey, where several Scottish kings and queens are buried, including Robert the Bruce, the hero of Scottish independence. The abbey, which dates back to the 12th century, stands beside the ruins of the old royal palace.

Perth boasts a museum, home to the famous Stone of Destiny 

You then end your trip at the Crannog Centre. Here, you will learn about Iron-Age settlements that can be traced back 2,500 years, through fun and interactive workshops. 

You will then make your way back to Edinburgh with a fun quiz to complete on the coach home.
