Old Photograph Road Workers Kirkcaldy Fife Scotland
Old photograph of road workers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. Kirkcaldy is the birthplace of social philosopher and economist Adam Smith, who wrote The Wealth of Nations at his mother's house at 220 High Street between 1765 and 1767. Architect and designer Robert Adam, and his father, William, came from the town. Sir Sandford Fleming, born 1827, died 1915, engineer and inventor behind the development of worldwide standard time zones and who worked on much of the Intercolonial Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway was born in the town before emigrating to Canada. Explorer John McDouall Stuart, who led six expeditions into the centre and from the south to north of Australia, was born in nearby Dysart.
