Dunfermline and West Fife
Inverkeithing
Inverkeithing is a bustling town, close to the Forth Bridges. Teaming with history, it was the site of a battle in the Third English Civil War in 1651, where hundreds of Scots were killed trying to fight Oliver Cromwell's invasion.
The town is said to date back to AD83, and there are several buildings of historical interest, including the parish church of St. Peter and a late medieval building which was part of the cloistral ranges of the town's Franciscan friary.
Inverkeithing is on the route of the Fife Pilgrim Way.
