Is Dunfermline safe for women?
Mostly safe but there is the odd crime, mostly drunk lads around the city centre and in pubs and clubs on the weekends. Overall it is very safe for tourists and travellers and most crime are due to people getting wasted then kicking off.

It's an old city close to major cities. I have been out in the day and night and thankfully have not had issues but there are a large number of people coming and going due to factories and dockyards.
