Places in the Postcard: 

Bridge Street is located in the town of Dunfermline and the country of Scotland. Dunfermline is a large town on the West-side in the city of Fife, which was once the capital of Scotland. Historically, Bridge Street is an urban area with both sides of the street covered in little stores and shops. It connects Bruce Street and Glen Bridge which are longer roads that also are both very urban although they have forested areas as opposed to only shops on both sides of the street. Bridge Street has always been a busy on the go street with lots of stores, restaurants, and hotels. It is in a part of Scotland that tends to attract tourists leaving it very industrialized and modern while still having its natural roots and historical beauty.
