Kirkcaldy

Kirkcaldy is a town and previous imperial burgh in Fife, on the east shoreline of Scotland. It is around 11.6 miles 19 km north of Edinburgh and 27.6 miles 44 km south-southwest of Dundee. The town had a recorded populace of 49,460 of every 2011, making it Fife's second-biggest settlement and the 11th most crowded settlement in Scotland.

Kirkcaldy has for quite some time been nicknamed the Lang Toun in reference to the early town's 0.9-mile 1.4 km fundamental road, as demonstrated on maps from the 16th and seventeenth hundreds of years. The road would at long last achieve a length of about 4 miles 6.4 km, associating the burgh to the neighboring settlements of Linktown, Pathhead, Sinclairtown and Gallatown, which turned out to be a piece of the town in 1876. The some time ago separate burgh of Dysart was likewise later assimilated into Kirkcaldy in 1930 under a demonstration of Parliament.

The territory around Kirkcaldy has been occupied since the Bronze Age. The main report to allude to the town is from 1075, when Malcolm III conceded the settlement to the congregation of Dunfermline. David I later gave the burgh to Dunfermline Abbey, which had succeeded the congregation: a status which was authoritatively perceived by Robert I in 1327. The town just picked up its freedom from Abbey govern when it was made an imperial burgh by Charles I in 1644.
