The Hilal (new moon) is usually visible 20 minutes after Maghrib (Sunset), look slightly to the left of the horizon where the sun has set.
Moon sighting spots in Dunfermline: Below are listed some great local places to consider, ideally ones where you can get a decent view of the sky without too much light pollution or tall buildings:
๐ ๐๐๐ป๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ
(Near Train Station)
A Dark Sky Discovery site recognised for stargazing and night-sky observation.
Located on a hillside with wide open spaces where you can get good views of the sky once itโs dark.
Best to pick a more open area of the park away from streetlights for clearer views.
๐ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ
A large park (The Glen) with open areas that can be good for watching the sky if you find somewhere with minimal overhead trees or lighting.
๐ ๐๐๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ
Open Greenspaces around Duloch Park or other open greenspaces listed by Fife Council (e.g., playing fields, larger open parkland) are good low-light places where you can see the moon clearly if you pick areas away from streetlamps.

(e.g., Rosyth / Limekilns area)
A slightly longer walk or short drive south towards:
**Rosyth or the coast near Limekilns can give you a broad southern horizon and potentially darker skies nearer the water, which is ideal for seeing the thin crescent moon if itโs low in the sky.

Area itself is mentioned as a stargazing point, though itโs a broad open location rather than a dedicated park.
