Selling a tool set in Dunfermline
Dunfermline has an abbey holding the grave of Robert the Bruce, was the birthplace of the industrialist who became the greatest philanthropist of his age, and gained city status recently. It sits in Fife just across the bridges from the capital.
The town is compact and the abbey and the glen are the landmarks everyone uses. The bridges to the capital congest at peak times, so agree a realistic window if either of you is crossing.
If either of you is crossing the bridges, agree a time outside the peak. A collection that looks like twenty minutes on a map can take an hour at the wrong point in the day.
Dunfermline, in Scotland, has around 55,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dunfermline
