There are trains to Edinburgh from all three stations, all of which take under 40 minutes. When travelling in the opposite direction, the same train will take passengers to Perth - though this will take just under two hours.
You can also get a bus from Dunfermline to Edinburgh. The X55 runs between Dunfermline Bus Station and Edinburgh Bus Station, with several stops along the way. You can keep an eye on the timetable on the Stagecoach website.
If you're heading out in your car, the M90 winds down the eastern boundary of Dunfermline before meeting the M9 near Kirkliston in West Lothian.
