The old Kirkcaldy Burgh boundary was, approximately, Victoria Road, Dunnikier Road, Promenade, Burleigh Street (Volunteers Green), Nicol Street.
 

Linktown was a separate burgh from Kirkcaldy until 1876...150 years ago !
Find out why the burgh became part of Kirkcaldy along with interesting facts about the area including it's famous folk !

The idea for the 50 Objects website arose from casual conversations among some local history enthusiasts in the Cupcake Coffee Box 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.

A new object is added to the site every month. The 50 objects countdown to the 2024 celebrations of the society.
