Kirkcaldy memories

Kirkcaldy Castle near the beach.

I used to play in the castle and what we thought were dungeons in the middle to late 1950s. It was our playground for many years. We went to the beach nearly every day summer or winter. Loved the place to bits. My sister and younger brothers found the place magical and facsinating, even though it was in ruins it was magical to us.

Remember

I grew up in Kirkcaldy and this castle and its grounds was a great mass of interesting places to hide, climb and explore.  It was in effect our playground between the years of 1984 through to 1988.  Even the local high school (Viewforth) used the park grounds to the left of the castle and still does for cross country.

OBSERVER CORPS

Kirkcaldy, the Victoria Linen Mills, Sinclairtown 2005

Though I have no personal memories of the Victoria Works I would be interested to hear of any recollections of the ROC based there.  The Observation Post can still be seen abve the roof and its survival is probably unique in Fife.
