Kirkcaldy in GeneralNewest Review: ... Walters and each and every year since the rides have got bigger and faster. As a local I have been visiting this market for as long as I can remember and before. Although it has always been a fairground during my years of coming it has still changed an awful lot, with new rides coming most years and even the way it is run changing noticeably. Gone are the days where the showmen used to run round collecting the fairs of people as the ride was starting and having to hunt them down at the end of the ride for your change.

Pronounced Kirk-Coddy (NOT Kirk-Cal-Day, please!!) Kirkcaldy is the largest town in Fife (although that is very heavily disputed by anyone from Dunfermline, Glenrothes, St Andrews, Leven, Lundin Links, Aberdour, Methil…!) and is, as you may have guessed, my home. Although I was born in Glasgow (please don’t tell anyone!) I was brought here as a toddler and I consider myself to be a Fifer. Known as the Lang Toun, for it’s long shape on ...
