Carnegie College Design and Digital Media students visited the home of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club to see their work installed on the wall of the east stand of East End Park. As part of their course work, their lecturer Colin Maxwell, asked the students to produce a graphic that they felt displayed the spirit of Dunfermline. The students chose to depict local heroes, past and present, who they felt represented the city.
Two Fife children have came first place in their categories in a National writing competition!
A pupil from Kings Road PS in Rosyth came first in the lower primary category and a pupil from Kirkcaldy West PS came first in the upper primary category…a fantastic result for Fife! In the secondary school category a Fife pupil from Auchmuty HS, Glenrothes was a runner up.
There were over 450 schools taking part from all across Scotland in the Glovember writing competition and with Fife children winning two out of the three categories, we at Fife’s CLN feel they should be exceptionally proud of their achievement.
Visit Dunfermline and DAFC would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in creating the three murals below and also to everyone who took part in this project and sent us many wonderful pictures. Thank you all so much!!

Chris Evans said: “We were overwhelmed last year to be inundated with thousands of truly creative and fantastic entries from nearly 30,000 kids, and in 2012 we need your help to make the competition even bigger than before. To read is good, but to write is even better and dare I say it, can even be more fun.”
