Title

Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy or Leven Homes for Sale, East Fife, Scotland.

Description

One of Scotland's most ancient burghs, Kirkcaldy has a history stretching back to the 11th century. It was the birthplace of the economist Adam Smith in 1723 and, five years later, of 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 new town which offers much for the visitor, with some of the the finest leisure facilities available.

The popular holiday town of Leven boasts an impressive swimming pool and leisure complex to complement its traditional sandy beach. Families will find no shortage of things to do along the busy promenade or in the quieter surroundings of Letham Glen and Silverburn Park with their nature trails.
