DUNFERMLINE takes centre stage in a new Historic Environment Scotland (HES) campaign to showcase the best of our heritage.

The video features Abbot House, the Carnegie library and art galleries, the Abbey and the Alhambra Theatre, as well as the world famous Forth Bridge.

HES are aiming to highlight that our heritage is much more than just the historic sites, and includes the high streets, industrial landmarks and cultural and arts venues that have shaped our communities.

Chief executive Alex Paterson said: “The campaign that we’ve launched shows that heritage is everywhere; it's a living part of our world, that we come into contact with every day, and brings with it a number of benefits.

“Eighty six per cent of people report a wellbeing benefit from engaging with heritage and the historic environment has a clear part in making a responsible contribution to the Scottish economy.

"Playing a vital role, as we build a wellbeing economy, we need to recognise that our heritage matters.

“World-renowned for its historic places, archaeological sites and ancient landscapes, the campaign helps us stop and appreciate the heritage that surrounds us, even in the unusual and less likely places.

"From the bridges we travel across to the culture and arts that have helped shaped our communities - they all form our historic environment.”

Scotland has over 58,000 designations covering both cultural and natural heritage.

HES lists structures of special architectural or historic interest and looks after more than 300 properties in care.
