Confusingly, Dunfermline (Douglas Bank) Cemetery is actually in the hamlet of Pattiesmuir located to the west of Rosyth.
From the Forth Road Bridge traveling north, take the second exit signposted Rosyth. Upon exiting the sliproad turn left into Rosyth continuing straight ahead along Admiralty Road. At the next roundabout take the second exit, signposted Kincardine Bridge (A985). Passing a Shell filling station on the left go straight over at the next roundabout. Again, straight over at the third roundabout and approximately one mile from here there is a turning to the right signposted Pattiesmuir and Douglas Bank Cemetery. The cemetery is at the end of this lane.
There are 128 graves listed on the Commonwealth War Graves website and an additional nine family headstones which commemorate the fallen.
