Cafe by the Park.

Cafe by the Park is located at the Glen Gates.

Pittencrieff Park (known locally as "the glen") is a public park in Dunfermline. It was purchased in 1902 by the town's most famous son, Andrew Carnegie, and gifted to the people of Dunfermline in a ceremony the following year. Its lands include the historically significant and topologically rugged glen which interrupts the centre of Dunfermline and, accordingly, part of the intention of the purchase was to carry out civic development of the area in a way which also respected its heritage. The project notably attracted the attention of the urban planner and educationalist, Patrick Geddes.

The glen is an area of topographical and historical significance to Dunfermline as the original site of Malcolm's Tower, the probable remains of which can be identified today on a strongly defendable outcrop of rock.

In the subsquent development of the modern park, Pittencrieff House was designed as a centre piece.The house was built by Sir Alexander Clerk of Pittencrieff as a simple laird's house with two stories and an attic around 1635. Two of the bedrooms were converted to create two long galleries for museum and art exhibition space in a restoration programme undertaken by Sir Robert Lorimar between 1911 and 1913. The house itself now serves as a museum for the formation of the park and the broader history of its lands.

On the northern boundary of the park lies the prominent statue of Andrew Carnegie which was built in 1914 and a dovecot, in the style of a round tower from around 1700. The main gates to the park known as the Louise Carnegie Gates which opened in 1928 are located to the north-east.

Cafe by the Park is one of the properties that remained after the requsition of the properties to create the Louise Carnegie Gates enterance, and a Plaque is located on the Cafe building Wall dedicated to Louise.
