Events and information about Kirkcaldy
Our next event is a...
Annual General Meeting &
Talk by Alan Gray and Allan Crow
"Extra, extra read all about it"
Thursday 15th October 7.00pm
Kirkcaldy Old Kirk, Kirk Wynd, KY1 1EH
After a short Annual General Meeting
Alan Gray and Allan Crow (editor of The Fife Free Press)
will be in conversation about the history of
The Fifeshire Advertiser and Fife Free Press local newspapers.
The idea for the 50 Objects website arose from casual conversations among some local history enthusiasts in the Cupcake Coffee Box (now closed) in the town's historic High Street. A project was required to mark the 2024 Golden Anniversary of the founding of Kirkcaldy Civic Society.
The intention was to provide information about 50 distinct objects (or places, or people) in the town.
The narratives you will find in the website seek to shed light on past events and place Kirkcaldy's present in the context of its past.
The original 50 objects counted down to the 2024 celebrations of the society but new objects are still being added to the site every month.
