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.
...one of Kirkcaldy Civic Society's series of virtual heritage walkabouts on our YouTube Channel... (if you want to skip the first bit which is about Kirkcaldy's mediaeval past...then start at about 15 minutes in)
