Kirkcaldy is a town and former royal burgh in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. Kirkcaldy is about 11.6 miles north of Edinburgh and 27.6 miles south-southwest of Dundee. The area around Kirkcaldy has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The first document to refer to the town is from 1075, when Malcolm III granted the settlement to the church of Dunfermline.
Kirkcaldy has long been nicknamed the Lang Toun in reference to the early town's 0.9-mile (1.4 km) main street, as indicated on maps from the 16th and 17th centuries. The street later reached a length of nearly 4 miles (6.4 km), connecting the burgh to the neighbouring settlements of Linktown, Pathhead, Sinclairtown and Gallatown, which became part of the town in 1876. The formerly separate burgh of Dysart was merged into Kirkcaldy in 1930.
Kirkcaldy was a world producer until well into the mid-1960s. The town expanded considerably in the 1950s and 1960s, though the decline of the linoleum industry and other manufacturing restricted its growth thereafter. The town of Kirkcaldy is a major service centre for the central Fife area. It has a swimming pool, theatre, museum and art gallery, three public parks and an ice rink. Kirkcaldy is also known as the birthplace of social philosopher and economist Adam Smith.
Kirkcaldy curves around a sandy cove between the Tiel (West) Burn to the south and the East Burn to the north, on a bay facing southeast onto the Firth of Forth. Historians are not sure where the medieval centre of Kirkcaldy was located, but it may have been at the corner of Kirk Wynd and the High Street.
Kirkcaldy Galleries is home to the town's museum and art gallery and central library. The building opened in 1925 under its former name of Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery and was extended to provide a main library in 1928. The oldest church in Kirkcaldy is the Old Kirk, the old parish church, on Kirk Wynd.
Kirkcaldy Town House on Wemyssfield is the centrepiece of the town's civic square. Kirkcaldy War Memorial in War Memorial Gardens unveiled in 1923 was gifted to the town by John Nairn, linoleum manufacturer and grandson of Michael Nairn. In the north-east are two homes of early wealthy merchants and shipowners connected with Kirkcaldy's harbour.
Two large stately homes also exist within the town. To the north of Kirkcaldy is Dunnikier House, built in the late eighteenth century as a seat for the Oswald family, replacing their previous residence at Path House. To the east of the town are the ruins of Ravenscraig Castle on a rocky spit of land extending into the Firth of Forth.
The A92, which connects Dunfermline to the west with Glenrothes and Dundee to the north, passes immediately north of Kirkcaldy. The Kirkcaldy railway station is to the north-west of the town centre and is on the route for the Fife Circle Line and the East Coast Main Line.

The A921 is the coast road from the Queensferry Crossing Forth Road Bridge to Kirkcaldy. Ravenscraig Castle is an early example of artillery defence in Scotland. The castle was built around 1460 for the wife of King James II, Mary of Gueldres. In 1470, King James III decided to exchange the castle for Kirkwall Castle which had been owned by William Sinclair in Orkney. It thus became the property of the Sinclair Earls of Roslin who completed its construction

Tunnel underneath Kirkcaldy, Fife.
This tunnel has long since been a source of intrigue for me since I was very young.
The tunnel entrance is just underneath Hayfield Road in Kirkcaldy and appears to run in a south easterly direction.
I am told that this long since locked tunnel leads to the area of the former Seafield Colliery.
If anyone knows different or has any other information let me know.
Apologies for the slight oddity with my commentary at the onset. This was due to me having to having to avoid any mishaps.
BALWEARIE CASTLE KIRKCALDY, SCOTLAND
Balwearie is 2.5 miles west of Kirkcaldy in Fife. Michael Scott's son Sir Duncan Scot, married Margaret of Balwearie and the Scotts settled down on the estate in the early 13th century. The building that remains was built after 1463, however.
The castle was owned by the Scotts of Balwearie until the end of the 17th century when it passed to the Earl of Melville when this Scottish soldier and statesman was made Lord Raith, Monymaill and Balwearie and Viscount of Kirkcaldy at the same time in the Peerage of Scotland.
Originally a 15th century tower, the north gable, east wall and part of the south wall stand fairly complete to their wallheads, about 45ft above ground, showing the tower to have been 43ft long and at least 28ft broad over walls averaging 6ft thick. The masonry, fairly cubical towards the base, is ashlar in 10 to 12 inch courses.
Tusking up to a height of 11ft on the SE angle suggests that a barmkin (courtyard wall) extended to the south and west.
One half of the building has collapsed
Although the Scott clan/family is strongly associated with the Scottish Borders from the early 13th century, there were Scotts in Fife descended from the earliest recorded Scott (Uchtredus Filius Duncan Scot aka: Uchtredus Filius Scoti). Uchtred's grandson, Richard Scott (whose line eventually became the Dukes of Buccleuch) had a younger brother, Michael Scott who moved to Fife near Kirkcaldy. Younger siblings often had to move out to establish themselves as the eldest son would inherit the father's estate.
This younger son, Sir Michael Scott, built up a considerable estate in Fife in the reign of William the Lion. He married Margaret, daughter of Duncan Syras of Syras, and obtained with her the lands of Ceres. He had a son, Duncan, who succeeded him and who had two sons. His elder son, Sir Michael Scott, was knighted by Alexander II. His son, Sir Michael Scott of Balwearie and Scotscraig is probably the famous wizard. He became famous during his lifetime not only in Scotland but across Europe due to his learning and writing (including Arabic translations of the Greek Philosophers) and eventually became known as Michael Scott the Wizard. He is credited with being Scotland´s first scientist, alchemist, sorcerer and astronomer!
Over the centuries, Ceres has had many families named Scott as is evidenced from local churhyards. It has to be said that his fame as a wizard was helped along by later writers such as Dante and James Hogg (the Ettrick Shepherd), embellishing the few facts known about him and perpetuating the wizard element of his reputation. Never one to pass over a good local legend when he saw one, Sir Walter Scott also picked up on the stories and wrote extensively about him. It was Sir Walter who wrote that Michael cleft the Eildon hills in three and bridled the river Tweed with a curb of stone. That's the Eildon Hills near Melrose on the right.
A later Michael Scott was a member of the group of nobles who went to Norway to bring Princess Margaret, the Maid of Norway, back to Scotland as Queen after the death of King Alexander III in 1296. It was Margaret's death on that journey that precipitated Scotland into the Wars of Independence against England in the following years.

Winter Drive A921 Road To Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of a Winter road trip drive, with music, East on the A921 coast road through Kinghorn and Burntisland on ancestry visit to and through Kirkcaldy in Fife. The A921 is the coast road from the Queensferry Crossing Forth Road Bridge to Kirkcaldy, it was formerly the A92. Once into Kirkcaldy the A921 follows the Promenade, part dual, part single carriageway. Kirkcaldy is one of the larger towns in Fife, lying on the coast due north of Edinburgh. The town has a long industrial history with coal mines, mills and factories all in the local area. Kirkcaldy was also an important trading port in the past. Today Kirkcaldy is a busy town, with some affluent areas and also some less well off parts of town. Kinghorn is known as the place where King Alexander III of Scotland died, it lies on the A921 road and the Fife Coastal Path. Burntisland was held by the Jacobite army for over two months during the rising known as the Fifteen. The Jacobites first of all raided the port on 2 October 1715, capturing several hundred weapons, then occupied it on 9 October. They held it until it was recaptured by the Government on 19 December.

Seaside village risks being lost at sea
(4 Jul 2019) LEAD IN:
A coastal village in the north of Wales faces being one of the first settlements to be decommissioned and evacuated due to climate change.
The villagers who live there could become Britain's first climate refugees due to rising sea levels.
STORY-LINE:
The first houses in the Welsh village of Fairbourne were built on a flood plane more than 100 years ago as a holiday destination.
The village has since become a popular abode for retirees and holidaymakers looking to enjoy the tranquillity of nature and escape the realities and stresses of everyday life.
But the reality of climate change has brought the peace and quiet enjoyed by the local residents to a crashing halt.
Several Welsh government reports have said that Fairbourne is potentially facing an insurmountable threat from the rising sea level and should be decommissioned by 2045 and the process should be completed by 2055.
Recent news reports about this issue have increased confusion and concern amongst the community.
Stuart Eves, a campsite owner and community council vice-chair, has lived in the village for more than 40 years.
While feeding his chickens at his home, he says he has not noticed a rise in tide levels on the beach and is sceptical of the report.
You walk down to the beach and you look at the sea and it still comes up to the stones like it used to and still does, he says.
You can't see a millimetre, two millimetres rise in the sea level a year. It is just an impossibility.
He questions why Gwynedd council is now saying the village will need to be evacuated by 2055.
Come and show us your figures that you're using to say the sea level is going to rise that quick in that amount of time, he adds.
At a glance, the shoreline looks several metres away from the sea wall - even at high tide- but with tidal changes and weather events this could easily change.
With the village of Fairborne deemed as a high-risk flood area, the property prices in the area have plummeted since the report was published.
Eves says, house sales have been destroyed.
Houses, lost 40 percent of their value virtually overnight. It became virtually impossible to get a mortgage.
Young people in the village, if they haven't got the cash to be able to buy a property, they couldn't buy one in - where they want to live, he explains.
And it is not only the future generations of Fairborne residents being affected by the flurry of panic.
Angela Thomason is a pensioner and clerk to the Fairbourne community council.
She says Coastal wise nobody is panicking like Gwynedd council has panicked the residents of Fairbourne into what is supposedly going to happen in 25, 30, 35 year's time, she says.
They've put us in a very uncomfortable awkward and devastating position.
Some residents feel unfairly targeted by the council's reliance on a report.
We feel uncomfortable being called the first climate refugee village. What we want is answers now. We want to know if the seawall breaches before 2045 we want to know what's going to happen to us. Where, where Gwynedd Council and the Welsh Government and Westminster are going to put us?
The Gwynedd Council says the report has placed it in uncharted territory in dealing with communities affected by rising the sea levels.
It has been liaising with residents of Fairbourne about the threats they face and offering counselling, regular town meetings and emotional support.
Williams says the only solution will be to surrender the village to the sea.
