My family and I have been living in Australia (south of Sydney) for eight years, but are in the process of moving back to the UK for various reasons. We used to live in Suffolk (we kind of ended up there after uni) but have decided that when we move back we want to move somewhere that ticks a few more of our boxes, if that makes sense. We've been looking at a few different areas of the UK, including Scotland which seems to be a good fit. We have both been to Scotland on holiday and actually came over for a visit in September/October to scout round a few areas.
OH has the chance of a REALLY good job in Dunfermline, which is of course one of the areas that we didn't visit last year! We did stop at Loch Leven for a picnic on our way to Edinburgh, but going past Dunfermline on the M90 was as close as we got to seeing that part of Scotland!
I wondered if there was anyone who could give some advice on the more rural/semi-rural areas around Dunfermline and what they are like to live in? I've looked at Kinross HS, and that seems pretty good so I'd be happy to be in the catchment for that (we have two dd's aged 9 and almost 11). I'd ideally like to be in a village but within easy reach of a town for supermarkets, swimming pools, cinema, shopping etc. Are there any areas which are recommended or which are best to avoid?
