2025 NEW YEAR WALKABOUT & FUN QUIZ

Thursday 2nd January 2025 at 2pm
Starts at the Old Kirk, Kirk Wynd, Kirkcaldy, KY1 1EH

Wrap up warm for a walkabout around the town centre.
When we return to the Old Kirk we will settle down with a hot drink, something to eat and have an illustrated quiz about Kirkcaldy.
Note: If you don't want to do the walkabout you can stay in the Church and view the exhibitions etc.

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.
