So much to explore here, there's the main glen with lots of open space but also lots of little paths leading to the Abbey and other parts of Dunfermline.

There were two shafts at Blairenbathie coal mine. These buildings were part of the mining works.

Blairadam Forest is managed by Forestry and Land Scotland. It's a mixed woodland forest planted mainly by William Adam as an investment in wood and a landscaped estate in the 1700's. Coal mining happened extensively underground here and you'll find evidence of this while walking the various trails. There are three waymarked walking trails in the woods: The blue Keltyhill Glen Trail is just a km long and follows the burn. The red Glen Trail is 2.8km long. The yellow Blairenbathie Mine Trail is 4km long.
