IN THIS week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane we look at Moodie Street, an old thoroughfare that once linked the main part of Dunfermline with the Nethertown (or lower town) area of Dunfermline, as described in 1723: The burgh (Dunfermline) is divided into an upper town and a lower town, having the Palace garden and park in the middle. Our first view of the street is a painting looking up into town by Dunfermline artist Adam Westwood. The street, originally called ‘New Street’ until being renamed Moodie Street by the council in 1809, is best known as the birthplace of the world’s most famous philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie, in 1835.

IN THIS week’s trip down West Fife’s Memory Lane, we look at one of the oldest streets in Dunfermline, Bruce Street. It was originally named Collier Row, perhaps from the Gaelic word, Coile, meaning wood or forest, referring to its position backing on to the great woods of Dunfermline, before being renamed King Street in 1833 and later Bruce Street in memory of King Robert the Bruce.
