Bungalow conundrum!!

I have a 1920's brick bungalow where the entire second floor is in the attic space. Additional room space is created by a large dormer in each bedroom which runs the length of each room. This means that within the attic space (encapsulating the living area) there are vertical walls and 2 horizontal ceilings (one from ground floor to attic, one from second floor to attic) , in addition to this the joists that form the first/second floor barrier are part interior walls and part exterior walls. Do I insulate the outside of the exterior walls as mentioned? Do I insulate the inside of the roof span? Dependant on which, what is the best product for me to use?....I intend doing it myself. Thanks Dom

you should insulate the roof span and the interior walls. using fiberglass would be a good option.
