The traffic lights mark the position where Station Road turns right off Bennochy Road to reach the front of Kirkcaldy railway station. Part of one of the station's car parks can be seen on the right. The public library is hidden by the trees. See also this photo: Image

This is a substantial stone-built house on the junction of St Brycedale Avenue and Gow Crescent. The house is currently operated as a Bed and Breakfast business. I am advised by the current owner that the house was built in about 1863 for the Hogarth family. They were flour millers, and had a mill nearby. It was probably lived in by at least two generations of the family. When built, the address of the house was 2, St Brycedale Avenue, and only more recently has it been give the address of 1, Gow Crescent.

Seen from the junction of Abbotshall Road and Bennochy Road the Adam Smith Theatre is on the right. Further up the road the former Station Court Nursing Home is undergoing major renovations (see this photo - Image )

Situated in Bennochy Road opposite the war memorial gardens (from where this photograph was taken) and with the Adam Smith Theatre next door (just visible on the extreme right) This building was first opened in 1903 as the Station Hotel and operated as such until its closure in 1987. It reopened in 1989 as the Station Court Nursing Home which, in turn, closed in 2007 and the building has been vacant since but a planning application has recently been approved for the conversion of the building into 16 residential flats which will mean the welcome rejuvenation of what was a derelict, boarded-up eyesore.

This mini bandstand/pergola stands to one side of the public library in Kirkcaldy. The small notice visible on the right-hand pillar indicates that it is now used as a smoking shelter for library staff.

Seen from Station Road, the access road to Kirkcaldy Railway Station, the former Station Court Nursing Home is undergoing major renovations to turn it into 16 residential flats. See this photograph Image
