Old Photograph Promenade Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland

Old photograph of people walking on the promenade in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. Kirkcaldy has long been nicknamed the Lang Toun, Scots for " long town ",in reference to the early town's one mile long main street, as indicated on maps of the 16th and 17th centuries. The street later reached a length of nearly 4 miles, connecting the burgh to the neighbouring settlements of Linktown, Pathhead, Sinclairtown and Gallatown, which became part of the town in 1876. The formerly separate burgh of Dysart was merged into Kirkcaldy in 1930.
