    The birds are the first creatures to be granted the honour since conurbation gained city status in 2022. Hamish, a handsome Indian blue peacock, is pecking at a cauliflower head with determination in the late afternoon sunshine in Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline.

    Angel, a delicate white peahen, sits at the top of the outdoor aviary, calling to her chicks.The birds appear only mildly perturbed at the bagpipers and local dignitaries assembling for a short ceremony on Wednesday afternoon to award them the freedom of the city.

    They are the first creatures of any species to be granted this honour since Dunfermline, in Fife, was conferred city status in May 2022.
