EspañolKIRKCALDY
'Kirkcaldy' (IPA pronunciation: ) is the largest town in Fife, Scotland. The population of the town according to the 2001 Census stands at 46,912.[1]. Kirkcaldy is known as ''The Lang Toun'' (Long Town) in Scots. This name derived from the original expansion of the town in a thin strip parallel to the sea front. The town has since developed further up and down the coast, encompassing formerly separate communities, but also extensively inland, so the term "The Lang Toun" is now only a reference to its historical shape.
The name Kirkcaldy is now generally believed to derive from the Brythonic words ''caer'', meaning ''fort'', and ''caled'', meaning ''hard'', and the Gaelic word ''dun'', also meaning ''fort'' [2], hence the modern Gaelic ''Cathair Challdainn''. Other theories involving the Scots word ''kirk'' meaning ''church'' and the Culdees are less favoured now.
The town lies on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. The former burghs of Dysart, Linktown and Pathhead, and the villages of Sinclairtown and Gallatown are now incorporated into Kirkcaldy.
Kirkcaldy's size reflects its historical importance as the largest east coast settlement between Edinburgh and Dundee. Its location in a relatively sheltered bay in the Firth of Forth enabled the growth of the port, which also supported a sizeable fishing fleet. Its hinterland includes good farmland and mineral wealth in coal. The last ship to enter the harbour was in 1991. Much of the quay area has since been built up with flats. The Harbour Master's Office had to be demolished following a fire in 2004. It was a small but prominent building with a slate roof. A housing development firm wishes to recreate the former house.[3].
Between 16-28 July 2007 an experimental hovercraft service (marketed as ''Forthfast'') was operated between Kirkcaldy and Portobello, Edinburgh. Stagecoach operated the trial service and are considering establishing this link on a permanent basis.
Kirkcaldy was famous throughout much of the 19th and 20th Centuries for linoleum manufacturing, notably Nairns, linked with Dundee jute imports; linen produced from local flax; and for its annual week-long Links Market - Europe's longest street fairs - that celebrated its 700th anniversary in 2004. The town still has one of the longest developed sea-fronts in Europe, overlooking the Firth of Forth. In the 17th century it boasted one of the earliest Latvian consulates, reflecting centuries of trade with Scandinavia, the Baltic States and The Netherlands.
History
Plaque from Volunteers Green, Kirkcaldy. The text begins "''This is the remains of the 9 acres of common moor given to the people of this town by Charles I in 1644 when Kirkcaldy was made a Royal Burgh''..."
The Battle of Raith is said to have been fought near Kirkcaldy in 596 AD.
It was gifted to the monks of Dunfermline Abbey in 1364, on condition of a mutual protection pact against sea-raiders, who had already ravaged the East Neuk. The town's status as a royal burgh was confirmed by Charles I (1625-49) in 1644. Kirkcaldy grew up around its harbour near the mouth of the East Burn and expanded rapidly in the 19th century with the development of textile, linoleum and coal industries.
It was the administrative centre of Kirkcaldy District from 1975 to 1996.
The District, which includes surrounding towns and villages, has a population of around 150,000 people. The term is still occasionally used today.
Kirkcaldy town centre was designated a conservation area in 1980 and amongst many interesting buildings are the Old Kirk (Old Parish Church) with its late medieval tower, 15th-century Ravenscraig Castle, 17th-century Sailor's Walk, Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery (1925), the Adam Smith Centre (1894-99), the Nordic style Town House designed in 1937 by David Carr, Dunnikier House (built in the 1790s and now a hotel) and St Brycedale Church (1877-81) which rises to 60 m (200 feet) and takes its name from Kirkcaldy's patron saint.

Music
Kirkcaldy has in its time been home to a number of pipe bands. Currently the town has the Kirkcaldy and District Pipe Band, which has gone under the name of the K.U.S.I. (Kirkcaldy United Services Institute) and the Argos Pipe Band.
Sport
The local senior football team in the town is Raith Rovers F.C., who play at Stark's Park. The club formed in 1883. They went full time in 1990 under then manager Frank Connor and have played in the Scottish Premier League in 1992/1993 and 1995/1997. They also won the Coca-Cola Cup (now CIS insurance) over Celtic in 1994 and played in the UEFA cup in 1995.
Kirkcaldy has a local junior side, known as Kirkcaldy YM (Young Men), who play in the East Region, Central Division.
Kirkcaldy also has an active rugby team, Kirkcaldy RFC, who currently play in the BT Premiership 3 league from their small ground situated in the Beveridge Park. They have managed to gain promotion from Premiership 3 as leaders at the end of the 1996/1997 season and promoted to Premiership 1 in 1999, playing the top rugby sides such as Boroughmuir, Watsonians, Glasgow Hawks, Currie and Hawick. Their player Matthew Harvey has had several appearances for Scotland's under 21s.
The oldest existing ice hockey team in the United Kingdom, the Fife Flyers, are based in the town, playing at the Fife Ice Arena on Rosslyn Street. They played in the now defunct British National League alongside teams in Guildford, Milton Keynes, Slough, Dundee and Paisley. The team's future was put in jeopardy for the 2005/2006 season after the British National League was disbanded. This resulted in them having to join the Scottish National League, playing teams of a markedly lower standard. They are scheduled to move from their current venue when the new Ice Arena is built in Kirkcaldy. An eletrical fault which sparked a fire in the building on 28th February 2007, results in the outcome of the Flyers move to Edinburgh for a temporary basis for possibily months on end until it is fixed. [5] However, their rivals, Murrayfield, Dundee and Paisley have all offered the Flyers a loan of their ice rinks for practice[6]
Beveridge Park in the town hosted motorcycle racing before the Knockhill circuit was built in 1974.
Golf Courses
Kirkcaldy has two golf courses. Kirkcaldy Golf Club commonly known as Balwearie course was established in 1904 and originally designed by Old Tom Morris. It is an 18-hole course in 150-acres of parkland. The course is maintained on a regular basis, has a clubhouse which serves meals, a bar with alcoholic beverages and a small golf shop. There is also a small putting green for practise prior to the first hole.
Dunnikier Park Golf Course opened in 1963 as an 18 hole parkland course to the north of the town. It is adjacent to Dunnikier House Hotel and Dunnikier Park Golf Club, which acts as the clubhouse. Dunnikier is a municipal course.
Education
Further Education
The edge of the St. Brycedale campus of the Adam Smith College, with St. Brycedale church in the rear.
Adam Smith College which was formed in August 2005 following the combining of Fife College and Glenrothes College has two main campuses in Kirkcaldy, the main one being the St. Brycedale Campus and the other known as Nairn Campus. They provide training and education for over 15,000 people. Actors Ewan McGregor, Sharon Small, Dougray Scott and Shirley Henderson, DJ Edith Bowman and the artist Jack Vettriano are some of the famous people that have attended the College.
The University of Dundee School of Nursing and Midwifery has a campus in Kirkcaldy, near the Railway Station.
High Schools
Balwearie High School
Balwearie, located on Balwearie Gardens, originally opened in 1964 as a junior secondary (for those who had not passed the eleven plus exam). The School became a comprehensive in 1974. The 'Wizard of Balwearie', Michael Scot, is associated in local tradition with a castle in the countryside to the west of the school. Balwearie is one of the biggest High Schools in Scotland with an intake of around 1600 pupils. The School operates an adjacent DSE department. The last few years have seen the school strive to reduce its large intake of pupils.
The catchment areas are: Kirkcaldy West, Dunnikier, Burntisland, Kinghorn and Strathallan.
Kirkcaldy High School
Kirkcaldy is located on Dunnikier Way. Kirkcaldy was the main high school for pupils that were able to pass their eleven plus exam. Kirkcaldy High School was extended and the new buildings opened in 1993. The High School also operated a junior building, for junior pupils in Templehall, until the building was disused. The catchment areas are: Capshard, Torbain, Valley, Cardenden, Fair Isle and Dunearn (which used to be spilt between Kirkcaldy and Balwearie, depending on which side of the hill you lived, is now entirely catchment area for Kirkcaldy because of Balwearie's focus on Strathallan and the downgrading of pupil numbers entering the School).
St Andrew's RC High School
St Andrew's was founded in 1959 and is one of only two Catholic secondary schools in Fife. It is located on Overton Road. The catchment primary schools are St Marie's RC, St Paul's RC (Glenrothes), St Ninian's (Cardenden), St Patrick's (Lochgelly), St Agatha's (Leven), St Columba's (Cupar). It attracts a large number of placing requests each year.
The school's roll is approximately 800. In 2005 it achieved a good HMIe inspection report [7]. In response to this report, Fife Council are currently upgrading parts of the buildings. Its examination results were better than its comparator schools.
St Andrew's has links with schools in Germany, France and Malawi. It is also a Fairtrade School.
Viewforth High School
Viewforth is located on Loughborough Road. The catchment areas are: Pathhead, Kirkcaldy North, Sinclairtown and Dysart. Viewforth was founded in the 1910s and has been an important part of the local community of East Kirkcaldy since then. There were however plans to replace the school two years ago as some of the current buildings require upgrading.

Shopping and Leisure
Kirkcaldy Town Centre
Main articles: The Mercat Shopping Centre
The Mercat Shopping Centre (from the Scots for ''market'' and commonly known as just ''The Mercat'') opened in 1973 and is located in the town centre. There was a Mercat cross on the High Street until 1782, a plaque erected by the Civic Society outside the current branch of Marks and Spencer marking its former position.
Kirkcaldy's High Street became partly pedestrianised in 1991 with many familiar chain stores locating here. Whytehouse Avenue, where the A listed Whyte's of Kirkcaldy house is located behind the shops. Kirk Wynd has the Fife Free Press offices and a pub (The Robert Nairn). All these streets are close to the main bus station. Kirkcaldy also has another small shopping centre on Hill Street, known as The Postings, which leads out on the stances for Kirkcaldy's bus station.
Kirkcaldy's swimming pool opened in 1972. Facilities include a small pool for infants, a medium-sized pool and a large pool with a diving board. There is also a small cafe. There is speculation concerning the demolition of the Kirkcaldy Swimming Pool and replacement by one with upgraded facilities, although plans have not yet been brought before the Council.
Peripheral Locations and Proposed Developments
There have been many plans to develop both the neglected east and west ends of Kirkcaldy High Street, both suffering from a lack of shops and also out of the way of the main shopping area.
A plan was lodged to build a new shopping mall along the waterfront, across the Esplanade and 70m out into the Firth of Forth, extending from the West End of the High Street to Kirkcaldy harbour. [8][9]. This application was refused planning permission in 2006 for a number of reasons such as: it was out of context and character with the existing townscape, poor pedestrian linkages would not have allowed the development to complement the existing centre and the applicants failed to demonstrate that the environmental impacts of the development were acceptable. Although, as of April 2007, the Waterfront development may still go ahead (with a multiplex cinema now as the main attraction), in a scaled down form. This has full backing from the former First Minister Jack McConnell to rejuvenate the town centre.[10].
Out-of-town Retail units are situated on the former site of Chapel Farm which includes typical UK chain stores. Still in the planning stages, a new road will be built to connect the Retail Park with the new housing estates of Rowanbrae and Hollybrae (built at the bottom end of the farm). This is set to include a major extension onto the site. Four existing units will need to be demolished for this to occur.
Speculation continues regarding the construction of another retail park behind the Hospital and the Nairn's Lino Works Museum scheduled to be built on part of the site of the former Nairn's factory on Nairn Street. Had the Centre gone ahead, it would be anchored by a possible Morrisons Supermarket. The proposal was refused by Fife Council, who concluded that the development would be situated too far away from the town centre to be profitable.
Kirkcaldy may soon be home to a new leisure centre on Kingslaw Park. Due process is underway presently - including the extraction of local coal seams - after which the building work will commence. The local MSP, Marilyn Livingstone, backs this project, as well as the controversial replacement of the town's swimming pool. [11]
Employment
Employment sites in Kirkcaldy are largely concentrated in the north of the town. Main sites include Mitchelston, Randolph and the John Smith Business Park. Smaller industrial sites are also located at Smeaton, Hayfield, Dysart, the harbour and Invertiel.
Kirkcaldy employs around 21,500 people representing around 16% of employment in Fife. Unemployment in Kirkcaldy is above the national average at 4.9%.[12]
There are plans to provide further business space at Kirkcaldy east near the Kingslaw development site. This forms one of Fife's key Strategic Development Areas. This is aimed at addressing the chronic shortage of jobs in Kirkcaldy and is intended to aid with the high levels of unemployment in the town and its travel-to-work area which has seen Kirkcaldy officially branded as the third poorest town in the UK. [13][14]
Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery
The Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery is located on War Memorial Gardens, behind the main Railway Station, and was donated to the town in 1928 by John Nairn the linoleum magnate. The art gallery contains many famous paintings by the Glasgow Boys and by Scottish Colourists such as Samuel Peploe and John Duncan Fergusson.
Kirkcaldy Central Library
The Central Library is housed in the same building as the Museum and Art Gallery. It has a children's section, adult's section and a reference library. There is also a portrait of John Nairn, who gifted the library to the town, located in the adult's section.
Proposed Relocation
There was a plan to move the Kirkcaldy Central Library which had, some say[15], outgrown the available space in the building. If this had gone ahead the Museum and Art Gallery was to have expanded in to the space thus vacated. One potential new location was a derelict piece of land upon which a part of the Nairn's factory on Nairn Street once stood. The plan has since been scrapped and the museum and library will remain on their existing site, where instead the money will be used for a renovation project for the dual building at a cost of £1 million pounds.[16].
Adam Smith Theatre
Kirkcaldy's local theatre, the Adam Smith Theatre is located on Bennochy Road. Opened on 11 October, 1899, by Andrew Carnegie, it was originally known as the Adam Smith Halls, until it underwent a major redevelopment, radically altering the internal layout. It is often referred to locally as the Adam Smith Centre.
The Adam Smith Theatre
The theatre is the main venue in Kirkcaldy for the annual Fife Festival of Music, usually held from the third week of January to the first week in February. The aim is to encourage all types of musicianship, inviting participation of local violinists, singers, school choirs and instrumental groups.
The main auditorium acts as the town's only cinema facility.
Public parks
The Beveridge Park was bequeathed to the town in 1892 by Provost Michael Beveridge as a tribute to his late wife. The park operates a boating pond, a small skateboard park, bowling green, crazy golf and contains the ground of Kirkcaldy RFC.
Ravenscraig Park is located between Dysart and the Pathhead Sands, stretches along the coast as far as Dysart Habour, a stretch comprising many secluded coves.
Gallatown Park and Dunnikier Park are both located in the north of the town.
Kirkcaldy railway station
Kirkcaldy railway station is located on Forth Avenue, close to the School of Nursing and Midwifery and Forth Avenue Industrial Estate.
The existing station building was completed in 1987, the previous one having been destroyed by fire. The building is behind Kirkcaldy Library and Art Gallery. A tunnel connects this side to the other platform and another entrance, by the main station car park.
Until recently there had been problems due to insufficient car parking provision. A large piece of overgrown and neglected grassy land was developed into a new car park extension. This opened in November 2006 and is accessed by the Forth Avenue entrance.
Stations in Dysart and Sinclairtown were closed during Beeching's railway cuts.
There has been a proposal to reopen Sinclairtown Station to complement the main station in the town centre.
Kirkcaldy Town Hall
The town hall is located on Hunter Street and has a distinct green copper spire with a clock face. The building flies the flags of fifteen European countries, including the German, Swiss, Swedish, Polish, Scottish, French, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Greek, Irish, Finnish, Belgian, the Union Flag and of course that of the European Union. There was a slight accident during the New Year storms of 2007 when the weather vane was in danger of falling off, leaving the building unsafe for days.
Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court
Kirkcaldy has a sheriff court for the whole of the Kirkcaldy district area (including Glenrothes). The court is situated at the top of Whytescauseway.
Forth Park Hospital
Forth Park is the maternity hospital in Kirkcaldy, situated at the corner of Bennochy Road/Forth Park Avenue at the Bennochy Road/Hendry Road roundabout. Forth Park is scheduled to remain open, after the removal of the maternity wards which will occur in 2010, focusing on other benefits.
Victoria Hospital
Kirkcaldy is home to Victoria Hospital on Hayfield Road, lying next to what is now the Victoria Gate Housing Development, along from Hayfield Industrial Estate. The Hospital also operates Whytesman's Brae, on the other side, which is primarily catering for the elderly.
The Hospital has been a vital part of Kirkcaldy's history; some parts still retain their 60s office block style. The Hospital caters for Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Levenmouth areas.
There has been recently a shortage and demand for more car parking spaces. An adjacent empty field is being developed for additional car parking.
The hospital also nearly lost its A & E Department, where services on top were also going to be downgraded and moved to Queen Margaret in Dunfermline. The town has managed to safeguard the hospital, including A & E which was saved from closure, to become the main hospital for Fife.
The hospital also has an adjacent Maggie's Centre for cancer sufferers at the rear of the main entrance, one of so many to be operating in the United Kingdom. The centre shaped like a prism was designed by Zaha Hadid, her only completed building to date in the United Kingdom. The people of Kirkcaldy are very proud of their achievements, raising the money for the project via the Fife Free Press' Maggie's Appeal.
The hospital is in the process of a major extension of a new wing and maternity unit, which is due to start soon, which will include an emergency care centre, maternity unit, critical care, coronary care, an ultrasound scanner and 11 new operating theatres. This is expected to be completed at the beginning of next decade and is set to replace the current maternity facilities currently on offer in Forth Park.
Media
Kirkcaldy has a weekly newspaper, The Fife Free Press, which is published every Thursday. The paper contains local news articles, a sports section, theatre and cinema listings, recruitment pages and a page dedicated to schools' projects.
The Fife Herald & Post, a freesheet, is delivered to Kirkcaldy households each week.

Religion
The Norman Tower of the Old Parish Church in the rear, taken from Kirk Wynd, adjacent to the Fife Free Press offices.
Kirkcaldy has a large number of churches, the oldest, the Old Kirk, dating back to the late 16th Century. The larger church next door (on the other side of Kirk Wynd), St. Brycedale Church, now known as St Bryce's Kirk was opened in 1881. St. Bryce himself was at one time Bishop of Tours, in France, and it is thought that the town of Falkirk owes its name to him, being derived by way of Gaelic and Anglo-saxon from ''Eglwys Brioc'' (church of Bryce), Bryce having travelled to Central Scotland in the early 5th Century.
