KIRKCALDY, LEVEN & District
	Basking in the benefits of modern attractions, kirkcaldy, Leven and District is steeped in the past.

One of Scotland's most ancient burghs, Kirkcaldy has a history stretching back to the the 11th century. It was the birthplace of the economist Adam Smith in 1723 and, five years later, the architect Robert Adam. Kirkcaldy became an industrial centre in the 19th century and was the first town to use the power loom, which revolutionised the weaving industry. In later years it became "the world's linoleum capital"! Today many of the vestiges of the area's industrial heritage have long since disappeared, replaced by bustling towns with extensive attractions to keep the whole family occupied. Kirkcaldy itself is the main shopping centre of the area, and is popular for its arts and entertainment at the Adam Smith Theatre and the Art Gallery and Museum. Glenrothes is a newtown which offers much for the visitor, with some of the finest leisure facilities available.
