Dog-friendly glamping near Dunfermline

·

Once Scotland's capital, the Fife town of Dunfermline is steeped in Scottish history. Those interested in Scotland's regal past can visit such attractions as the ruined Dunfermline Palace and 12th century Dunfermline Abbey, the final resting place of Robert the Bruce and burial site of 11 other Scottish kings and queens. The town is home to beautiful public parks and within reach of the lovely Aberdour Beach and the long-distance walking route, the Fife Coastal Path. It also lies along the 64-mile-long walking path, the Fife Pilgrim Way. Campers will have to venture out of town but will find many attractive sites in the surrounding countryside.

Dog-friendly glamping near Dunfermline guide

Where to go

Kinross

A 15-minute drive north of Dunfermline, Kinross is situated on the shores of Loch Leven. Home to the Loch Leven National Nature Reserve and tiny Castle Island, from where Mary Queen of Scots made a dramatic escape, the area is a hit with nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Gallowhill Camping and Caravan Park has plenty of pitches for tents, motorhomes, caravans and campervans.

Saline

Five miles northwest of Dunfermline, Saline is a quaint little village that is known for its well-preserved 18th-century cottages and views toward the Ochill Hills. Just north of the village, in the countryside, Eastfield Farm is a working farm with a small number of grass and hardstanding pitches for tents and motorhomes. Campers will enjoy easy access to the Ochils’ hill-walking opportunities.

Dunning

Heading north into Perthshire, around a 35-minute drive from Dunfermline, the small village of Dunning is surrounded by hills and glens. The small working family-run Greenhill Farm is home to cows, sheep, chickens and peacocks and offers a glamping experience in their handbuilt shepherds’ huts.

When to go

The weather in Dunfermline, and all around Fife, is generally temperate, making it possible to visit throughout the year. July is typically the warmest and sunniest month, while January is the coldest and the wettest. Dunfermline does not experience the large crowds of tourists that fill up Edinburgh and other parts of Scotland in July/August, so summer is the ideal time to visit for long daylight hours and enjoying the outdoors.

Know before you go

  • Some private campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • The weather in Scotland is changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing.
  • Dunfermline is a 40-minute direct train journey from Edinburgh. Transfers are typically required for journeys elsewhere by train or bus.
  • You can easily stock up on groceries and find gear in Dunfermline’s shops.
