ROADS in Dunfermline city centre are set to close for a time this weekend to allow an Orange walk to take place.
The parade will see the closure of Walmer Drive, East Port, High Street and Bridge Street from 6.15pm until 7.45pm on Saturday (June 29) evening.
Fife Council has confirmed that access for emergency service vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained throughout the event.
Last year, around 3000 people came to Dunfermline to take part in an Apprentice Boys of Derry march.
At the time, organisers said the event would bring "significant economic value" to the area with many hotels booked out for the occasion.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
