'The Pug No. 29', Dunfermline

24 Jun 2021 6 6 392
The ‘Pug’ was built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co Ltd at Caledonia Works in Kilmarnock in 1934. It initially operated as No.9 with Edinburgh Collieries Ltd before moving around considerably to other Collieries in Central Scotland during which time it was renumbered to No. 29. Quoted from the Pittencrieff Park website Pittencrieff Park (known locally as "The Glen") is a public park in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It was purchased in 1902 by the town's most famous son, Andrew Carnegie, and given 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. To the eastern side of the park is Dunfermline Palace with Dunfermline Abbey and to the west it overlooks the village of Crossford. Quoted from Wikipedia
