Old travel Blog photograph of the Bandstand in Beveridge Park in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. The park dates back to 1892, when Provost Michael Beveridge bequeathed 104 acres of Raith Estate to the people of Kirkcaldy. Shepherd and Beveridge Company was formed in 1864, a partnership between James Shepherd who had left Nairn’s floorcloth factory and Michael Beveridge. Their Kirkcaldy Floor cloth Works was severely damaged by fire in 1868 but was rebuilt. Michael Beveridge had worked in insurance in London and was later Provost of Kirkcaldy. From 1873, James Shepherd lived in Rossend Castle.
