I appeared at the Carnegie Hall when I was at high school. It was the one in Dunfermline though.

Having flown in and out of Edinburgh a few times, it appears I've been quite close. Looks as though I should visit the Abbey site on my next trip, given that the founder of my clan was buried there…

Dunfermline is super easy to get to from Edinburgh. You can hop on a train from Haymarket or Waverley with the added bonus of going across the Forth Rail Bridge (chuck a coin out for good luck if the windows open).
Dunfermline used to be quite a rough place when I was a wain. Rather stabby. It is much nicer now and is basically a suburb of Edinburgh.
The Abbey is stunning but make sure to have a wander through the Glen (Pittencrieff Park) and St Margaret's Cave.
Definitely get a steak bridie from Stephen's the Baker.
I met a lad at a brewery barbecue a while back and found out recently that he has started up a YouTube channel about Scottish history. Good lad and he makes great videos here is on on the Abbey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMV4ZRHDK4

Thanks for all of that. I'll watch the video. We stayed at a hotel just a block from Waverly Station last time I was in Edinburgh.
