Mail Order Warehouse The vast shed built on the outskirts of Dunfermline to accommodate a well-known mail-order distribution company. Even bigger than the nearby infamous Hyundai plant, this at least is going to provide jobs of a sort.

Footpath Revamp The signs on the gates inform us that 'This route will be temporarily closed to allow necessary work to be carried out', but doesn't indicate on whose authority it has been closed. The path runs alongside the new mail-order distribution centre being built on the western edge of the Dunfermline Expansion Area.
