On the eastern outskirts of
Kirkcaldy, off the A955 Dysart Road amidst
hundreds of acres of parkland and coast, stands
Ravenscraig castle. Originating in the 15th
century, the castle has been much altered but was
one of the first castles in Scotland built to
withstand and return artillery fire.
Historic Scotland
Within Kirkcaldy is Dysart
which was one of the earliest communities to
exploit the coal deposits with mining starting as
early as the early 15th century. Nail making also
grew in importance as a local industry in the 18th
and 19th centuries.
