Orocco Pier is a popular hotel/ restaurant and bar. The restaurant is very good and offers stunning views across the River Forth.

Taxi over will cost c£10/£15 depending on time of day, alternatively hop on the train to Dalmeny and walk down - it is a good 10 minute walk and is down a big hill - not advisable if you're wearing high heels!

This is a nice 'traditional' bar. Football and other sporting events are shown on the televisions and it has a real pub feel. The East Port Bar has been around for over 40 yrs and is a bit of an iconic bar in Dunfermline. A good place to go in the afternoon to watch football scores coming in.

My friends and I like to call this the bat cave as it has small alcoves you can sit in. It's not a huge bar but has a great atmosphere. It's hidden on Advocates Close so not a lot of people stumble across it, worth a visit!

Getting Around
The train station is a short 10 minute walk from the cottage. At the end of the terrace, turn right and walk to the very end of the crescent. You will see some newer apartments on your right hand side, walk past them and cross the road. You will notice a large carpark in front of you, walk across the car park and you will go through a gate along a small path and up the stairs, cross the road and you're at the station. Tickets can be bough in person or by using the machines outside. I recommend you buy your tickets here as most stations now have barriers and if you don't have a ticket, you have to wait in long queues at the other end.
