Our next event is a...
Guided Walkabout: Gallatown & St. Clair Street
Sunday 16th August 2.00pm
Starts from the top of Rosslyn Street, opposite the Elbow Room
Gallatown was a separate burgh from Kirkcaldy until 1876...150 years ago !
Find out why it 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 (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.
