There are no proper rivers as such, but a number of smaller burns or streams - the most common being the Tower Burn, which is where the town got it's name from - Dunfermline is translated as "the fort by the crooked stream."
This is a post glaciation meltwater channel and as such has steep embankments, and today there is only a small, "misfit stream" at the bottom. The stream meanders by over 180 degrees which provided the perfect defensive site for Malcolm Canmore's tower, the remains of which can still be seen today within Pittencrieff Park, or the "Glen" as known by locals.
