The Bishops then built a residence in Old Rayne, the Bishop's Manor. This was a stone building with a moat that would have been very expensive to build at that time. It was thought by Boece, in Historia Gentis Scotorum, to have been built by Alexander de Kininmund, bishop between 1329 and 1344. However excavations in 1990 and 2008, in advance of development, found that there was already a building on the site in the early 14th century. Old Rayne became a burgh of barony in 1492 and it was part of the lands taken from the bishops of Aberdeen under the Act of Annexation of 1587. The archaeological work indicates that the Bishop's Manor was then abandoned and quarried, with stones reused in buildings elsewhere in the village.

The royal family felt safer in Edinburgh Castle, as burghs such as Dunfermline and Stirling could not provide protection in defense of the nobles. Decline of royal status and birth of the linen industry The relocation of the Scottish courts to London being the result of the union of the crowns drawn up in 1603 saw the loss of the city's royal connections. A subsequent fire in 1624, saw a large part of the city in ruin, before being deprived of the ecclesiastical centre along with St Andrews by the Reformation. Dunfermline quickly sank into decline. In the 18th century, the city impressed Daniel Defoe as showing the "full perfection of decay". The town would soon regain prosperity with the introduction of the weaving of linen damask  ?  which would eventually become recognised as the world's leading producer  ?  established by James Blake in 1718 after being inspired by having gained the experience of the special technique of one in Edinburgh as the way to take Dunfermline forward. Dunfermline became one of four main centres of the industry alongside Kirkcaldy, CHRYSTIE ISOBELL JAMES CHRYSTIE/ELSPET FAIRNY FR851 (FR851) F 31/03/1678 424 30 / 308 Dunfermline
