This monument is in tribute to the people of Kirkcaldy, both soldiers and civilians who fell for the United Kingdom. Unusually, the dedication includes every conflict that has involved the country since the First World War. The monument consists of a cenotaph in the form of a coffin surrounded on three sides by a memorial wall with plaques containing the roll of honour. The symbolic coffin at its centrepiece is the epitome of poignant.

First time I have been back since the change of management ,plenty of parking and a large fisherman's bothy where the Kettle is always on .A friendly and helpful bailiff. There are 12 roomy boats on the water with a good pier . The size is 23 acres and stocked with Rainbows ,blues and brown trout .We came for a short evening stint , My young 8 year old companion was delighted when I hooked a nice 2 1/2 pounder and left her to play the fish to the net . The water was very calm last night and we did see fish being caught . The Lake is a Troutmaster Lake and regular club competitions are held on it .it is always better to phone for a boat as it gets quite busy

Great park. We go there frequently for walks or with the grand children. The park is part of the coastal walk with old walls and lookout points over the sea. Good play area but some parts have been damaged by the usual teenage bawheids who frequent the park at night. Great tree and shrub varieties throughout. Great walk to Dysart harbour and picturesque views of the harbour which have been painted by many artists over the years. Clean and very well maintained park. Well worth a visit.

Fab park that caters for all ages, great pond with ducks and swans, a lovely walk which we do with our dogs on a regular basis, can stick to the paths or be a bit more rural and head through the trees, great wee statues carved from wood, kids love finding these. Beautiful gardens just to sit and admire or read a book.nice play park area for kids and a skateboard park for the teenagers

This is a very pretty beach. There is lots of free parking and easy beach access. The true standout of this location is all the sea glass and worn smooth pottery fragments that wash ashore! I met the nicest man on the beach who noticed my delight and shared a bit of town history. It seems over a hundred years ago there were two glass factories located in town. These factories would just dump unwanted glass into the sea, it was much the same for the pottery factory. Well over a hundred years later this beautiful sea glass is still washing ashore! It's remarkable! Beachcombing is elevated to an art! Literally,!
6. Wemyss Caves

Come and see the largest collection of Pictish carvings anywhere - still in the place they were made over 1,500 years ago. Located on a dramatic stretch of Fife coastline overlooking the Firth of Forth, the Wemyss Caves are home to over 50 inscribed symbols, animal figures and a depiction of an early medieval boat. The caves also house several crosses carved by the first Christian missionaries to visit the area and on the cliffs above sit the remains of medieval Macduff Castle, once home to the Earls of Fife. Guided tours are available every Sunday from April to September from the Visitor Centre and Museum in the village of East Wemyss. See the website for more details and to book.
