park history
Normally there would be no better way to celebrate the arrival of summer than a picnic in the park 😁. On #throwbackthursday we invite you to visit Pittencrief Park in Dunfermline, Fife.
The 'Glen' was given to Dunfermline by Scottish American steel king Andrew Carnegie in 1903. He bought the land the year before as part of his 'Gospel of Wealth', which called on the rich to use their money to improve society. Folk in Dunfermline have been holding picnics in the park for over 100 years. ©Newsquest (Herald&Times)
