Dunfermline City Music Walk

Take a walk with us to explore the sounds of Dunfermline. Lyrically we have the king sitting on his throne drinking the blood red wine, but what of the sounds? What was the rhythm of the 1700s? What would you hear in the 1800s? Recordings from the 1900s are familiar to many but where did they play? Take a walk on the treble side for the Music of The City walking tour and speculate with your companions what could the sound of Dunfermline in the 21st century be!
