Situation
East Fergus Place occupies a prestigious setting in the heart of Kirkcaldy. On the east coast of Fife, this is a vibrant town with an array of amenities. Bustling shops, fashionable bars, and thriving restaurants are to be found in the town centre, and it hosts a popular Farmers Market held on the last Saturday of every month. Enjoy scenic walks along the beachfront, take in the formal gardens and boating lake at Beveridge Park or visit Ravenscraig Park with its playpark, football pitches, and bowling green. Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre houses a gym, health suite, and swimming pool. Education at all levels is well-catered for including Balwearie Secondary School. Kirkcaldy is the perfect location from which to explore the characterful fishing villages that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, and Pittenweem. St Andrews to the north is a 45-minute drive and Edinburgh to the south is approx. 50 minutes by car or the same duration by train from Kirkcaldy.

Fondly called ‘the lang toun’ due to its four-mile-long main street, the former Royal Burgh of Kirkcaldy lies on the east coast of Fife. With a scenic promenade and beach overlooking The Firth of Forth, residents can enjoy some delightful walks. A recent waterfront regeneration project has also seen the area improved for cyclists and the installation of seafront viewing shelters. There are world-renowned golf courses to enjoy including the 18-hole club in Kirkcaldy, the last designed by Old Tom Morris in 1904; Dunnikier Park Golf Club; and The Old Course at St Andrews. Cluny Activities is home to extraordinary experiences such as archery, clay shooting, and golf. In addition to the beach at Kirkcaldy, there are several more to explore nearby such as those at Elie and Kingsbarns. Kirkcaldy Galleries and The Adam Smith Theatre offer wonderful cultural escapes whilst every April the Links Market comes to town with over 200 rides and attractions. State schooling is available locally and private options include St Leonards in St Andrews and The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects Kirkcaldy to towns throughout Fife, and the train station provides swift links to Edinburgh. Edinburgh International Airport is within reach.
