Carnock is a small village in Fife, Scotland, set on gently rolling farmland a short distance inland from the Firth of Forth. It sits within easy commuting range of larger towns such as Dunfermline, and its mix of stone cottages and more modern housing reflects a long rural history blended with 20th-century growth.
Historically the parish has medieval roots and the village retains an old kirkyard and church site; like much of west Fife it was shaped by agriculture and later by coal and related industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today Carnock is a quiet, close-knit community with local groups and a village hall, serving as a residential base for people working locally or commuting to nearby towns.
