Dunfermline Abbey has always been a huge hit with our guests and even more so now, as it hosts an exhibition where you can come face to face with Robert the Bruce. A 3D model of the warrior king was put on display to the public for the first time to celebrate the 750th anniversary of his birth.

The reconstruction is thought to be the most realistic likeness that’s been produced to date and was created as part of a collaboration between the University of Glasgow and Liverpool university face lab. Housed in the beautiful Nave head along to see the most realistic model of Scotland’s greatest monarch. Exhibition runs until 7th September.

The best part of hosting is meeting guests from all over the world and making their stay in our wonderful city of Dunfermline one to remember. Some of our recent reviews makes all the hard work worth it!

The wonder and vivid colours of our beautiful Glen were showcased to hundreds of visitors this weekend when put on the Bruce festival. We had guests from Australia who were absolutely thrilled to catch some of the festival on Saturday. They are returning to Australia with some incredible memories of our wonderful city and its history thanks to this great event. Fantastic work 👏🏽

Autumn has arrived and summer feels like it has gone by in a flash. We have been so busy with lots of great guests and had a few return visitors which has been delightful. The heritage quarter and all it has to offer always featuring in their highlights of the visit. Today with the golden autumn sunshine we couldn’t agree more!

The sun is out and the savvy team at Blend have introduced 3 varieties of cookie ice cream sandwiches to their menu for summer. Today we sampled one in their glorious gardens, a complete genius addition to the already delicious offerings at Blend. Now to try the other 2 flavours!

Checking in guests today from Tennessee who are on the last leg of their trip to a Scotland and picked Dunfermline as their final destination as they are huge Big Country and Skids fans. The legendary Dunfermline music scene still making waves across the world! Walking back from our check in through the gardens today what an utter joy our neighbourhood is.

The Easter weekend weather has been phenomenal and what a glorious edition to our neighbourhood the has been. Open on a Monday too we sat outside during our changeover today and enjoyed a coffee, almond croissant and warm homemade raspberry jam. Our guests are going to love it! Another fantastic asset to the heritage quarter. Welcome!

Immaculate scenes in the heritage quarter on this glorious morning. We had to remove our jackets today as we sat outside in a sun trap with the best views. The street was buzzing so many great events on this weekend, lots of businesses taking part in Fiverfest grab a bargain for £5 and also the second night of a sold out event in the Glen Pavilion. What a day to be alive!

First snowfall on our street today. Snow capped copings into looking as beautiful as their cosy cafe today. What a place to live, work and stay!

Changeover Saturday’s and the theme this weekend is live music. Our guests last night here in Dunfermline to see The Proclaimers and our guests today here to see The Mersey Beatles at the Carnegie Hall. The Maygate the place to be with the sun beaming down on the 2 fabulous pop up shops at The Workshop at .house today. We nipped in and bought some of Gwens delicious truffles and Clay Play Day’s ceramic Christmas tree decorations. They are both there until 4pm today so make sure to pop in if you are around. Have a great weekend!

What a day! Lights on all day here. This is our second bedroom which we did a little work on at the start of the year. We removed the doors from the fitted wardrobe, opened it up with some tongue and groove on the back and a little lightening detail. Completely inspired by Laura who had done similar at the magnificent . We are planning some work to an outdoor space for next year so guests can sit outside with a glass of something nice. On days like today that seems like a lifetime away! Have a great day.

Pittencrieff Park or “The Glen” as it’s called by the locals has been a big hit with our guests this year. A 2 minute walk from De Brus Hoose finds you in this magnificent green space. After check out today we took a stroll down and the Autumn colours are spectacular. We ourselves have been to lots of parks this year in Scotland and The Glen takes a bit of beating.

Ending a good week with the most beautiful day. The view from entrance on days like today, guests always comment on how light filled our space is. Today we appreciated that too! Sometimes you have to take a few minutes, appreciate what you have and enjoy the view. Friday is here! Enjoy and stay cosy.

We didn’t quite appreciate when we started welcoming guests to De Brus Hoose how amazing it would be to meet people from all over the world. Meeting guests who love Scotland and Dunfermline really makes you appreciate what we have on our own doorstep and how fortunate we are to live in a lovely place steeped in history, culture with green space in abundance. So thankful for this and for the reviews our guests leave us 🙏🏽

We were doing some jobs in DBH this morning at 7.30am, it was dark, windy and pouring with rain. A few hours later and we were rewarded with Autumnal blue skies and the dreamy pink hues bouncing into the apartment from Abbot House. There is something about low autumn light that just hits different, have a great weekend.

On Monday during our changeover we didn’t need our normal playlist. As Dunfermline awaited the arrival of the King and Queen Consort to grant our new city status we opened our windows and enjoyed this amazing pipe band. Nothing like the sound of the pipes to evoke emotion and patriotism.

10/09/2022

The Maygate is absolutely jumping today with the on, live music in lots of venues around town, sun shining and the best weekend vibes. What a place! Changeover days never felt this good!

We received this beautifully handwritten letter yesterday from a wonderful family from London who stayed with us while visiting The Open last week. The guys at looked after their luggage while they explored Dunfermline as they were catching a train later that day. Rafe their very cool son wanted his amazing long haircut in Hope but we were fully booked so Lauren made him feel a bit special and sat him in one of our chairs and put his hair in a pony tail rightly fitting for the young footballer he is. When they came back to get their luggage they told us their train from Dunfermline had been cancelled. Brian was just finishing up so he offered to take them to Inverkeithing to get another train from there. No big deal we were glad to help but when we received this letter we were so touched. The art of letter writing a dying tradition but one which means so much 🤍

We were beyond thrilled to sit and enjoy our coffee and lunch today at . So excited that now our guests can literally take a 30 second walk across the road and be transported into the most stunning surroundings. Fantastic coffee, wholesome food and a warm welcome all while soaking up the historic surroundings and sublime gardens of .house. We sat here for an hour today and we felt like we were on holiday. Bravo to all involved. What an asset for Dunfermline!

We are rarely in DBH in the evening to catch the sunset. Last night we were in doing some steam cleaning and as we turned to leave the whole room had turned a dark pink as the falling sun reflected off Abbot House. A little special moment we wanted to share.

21/06/2022

Summer solstice perfection! We took this picture of Abbot House yesterday while we waited in the sunshine to great our new guest from Vermont who is here on a “roots” trip to trace the steps of her Scottish ancestors. Our lovely guest told us she chose our apartment because of the view to Abbot house and the Abbey. We can see why. The Maygate was full of bustle and people yesterday so great to see.

Iconic landmarks making shadows in the sunlight today at De Brus Hoose. Delighted to have the amazing Loch Leven Brewery] gin miniatures back in our welcome basket. The fantastic team at Loch Leven Brewery] do an incredible quintessential classic gin. On a day like this it’s the perfect Monday aperitif. Our guests love stopping in to see the guys here when they’ve been walking around Loch leven. Whether it’s for a beer or gin it’s always a warm welcome. Thanks once again guys for all your help.

Kicking off Saturday for our guests with some scones. While we await our new batch of honey we struck gold and found a few little jars from last season. We added this incredible honey to some lemon and poppy seed scones this morning. What a winning combo I’m sure our new guests will love these.

It’s heartwarming to see both weddings and international guests back in abundance this season. We were honoured to host the most adorable family from Vancouver Island who were married in Culross Abbey. Leah, Peter and Fergus stayed with us and Peter who spent his childhood in Scotland created precious memories with their son Fergus in Pittencrieff Park where he played as a child. Such a beautiful family thank you for staying with us and sharing your pictures.

The magnificent Dunfermline Abbey reflecting in our table which has just arrived at De Brus Hoose from . We’ve been updating a few pieces in the apartment and this compliments them perfectly.

24/03/2022

We are open for the season again and what a view our guests have of the iconic .house! We love their gift shop and we were lucky enough to have a peak at their coffee shop which they are currently taking tenders for. Honestly we were blown away it’s absolutely incredible. Roll on sitting in abbot house gardens again with a coffee and scone. In the meantime we best get back to the window cleaning before our next guests arrive, not so bad though when the view is like this!

Another glorious morning on the Maygate. We welcomed new guests yesterday and always leave a little something to make them feel at home. The honey from Gael at and our little wax sealed gin miniatures from have been so well received by our guests and even better that they come from brilliant independent local businesses. Cheers to another balmy Saturday in Scotland.
