Pittencrieff Park

Really love travelling across Scotland
from here in the west across to the east
Dunfermline my fav place over in Fife
just being there you don't want to cease

Pittencrieff Park I really love it
so full of grass taking many a route
uphill and down breathe in cool air
many tree types bear seed from root

It's famous son purchased it 1902
then gave it back to his home town
Andrew Carnegie world billionaire
left with little to U.S. to gain crown

So much wildlife around to feast upon
grey squirrels, many birds among woodland
lovely brook runs throughout the ground 
water trickling over stones so grand

So that's something of my favorite place
bringing one a sense of it's worth
fun and peace for all the family
memories to kindle one all from birth

(Just some thoughts on my favorite park in Scotland to go and walk to enjoy its nature.
The Andrew Carnegie statue in the park for he bought the park for the people of his home town Dunfermline.)

I loved this poem, both being related but also having visited for the first time in 2011, just before my 50th birthday. Thoroughly recommend both reading and visiting!

Thanks Andrew, glad you loved it and were able to visit it in 2011. Did you get to the museum? I found it very good indeed. As I am only couple of hours journey away as I'm in west of Scotland and having free bus travel I usually go to Dunfermline every couple of months. Thanks again for reading my piece, Gordon
