Kirkcaldy has been absolutely decimated over the years. I live in Dunfermline and used to like a day out to Kirkcaly in the early 2000s shopping and stuff but its a ghost town now.

The council have done nothing (and I mean NOTHING) to attract any inward investment. The natural attraction of the Promenade has never been developed to attract visitors. The Council did spend Hundreds of thousands of pounds reducing the Promenade road from two lanes to one lane, all thats done is cause congestion. Also, would love to see the council Risk Assessment for fire engines attending a fire in Kinghorn now that the Promenade is down to one lane. Kirkcaldy has millionaires travelling past on the A92, millionaires that land at Edinburgh airport, travelling back and forth to St Andrews, not a single thing to attract them. The Council don’t have a single bit of business strategy between them. Look at the Prom, a car wash, a funeral Directors, The Food Warehouse, Kwik Fit, Lidl & Morrisons. Talking about Morrisons, the Council allowed them to build the Cafe within Morrisons overlooking the car park and the back of Links Street, surely the planning department could have insisted that they build a glass fronted Cafe on an upper level over looking the River Forth, enough said. Decades of sad mismanagement!

I left Kirkcaldy after the lockdown, It has become overrun by feral kids and I'm not being hyperbolic either. The redevelopment of the esplanade completely congested the route through Kirkcaldy too.

Change it. Bring it back. Stop shopping at the big box or big center lstores. Money spent at the big centers never comes back into the local economy. Protect employment. Also close streets to vehicular traffic, make them pedestrian friendly and of course enclose them against the weather.

Online shopping only constitutes around 20% of retail sales in the UK. Out of town retail parks are most likely having the biggest impact on town centres.

Something to consider: The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951. With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day ! So in the same BIBLICAL year: • 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ) • Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951. • Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated. i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 ! The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar. So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland. Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ. In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland ! Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”. When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process. The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later. Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above. When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???

@deborahwallace1381.........The causes of empty shops in KDY (and elsewhere) are large multinational companies opening on retail parks and supermarkets selling non food items acting like theyre department stores.......Folk shopping online thinking theyre getting a bargain when theyre not...........Pedestrianisation of High St and limited parking elsewhere and no buses on high street...........also once anchor stores such as debenhams,M&S,etc leave High St it affects other shops roundabout..........beggars and druggies pestering shoppers..........investment companies with rents too expensive on shops - (council should charge them full rates when empty) - im sure they would drop rent prices then .. small businesses may get rates relief from council...........Everyone needs to make an effort to try support high st independent businesses..........there are still some nice small businesses on KDY high st.....i support them when i visit............Kirkcaldy Council councillors need to visit Broughty Ferry (outside Dundee) to see what it can become if they care enough about theyre town and looking after needs of small businesses..........P.S. - Dundee city centre is dying too as like Kirkcaldy we have clowns running the show that havent a clue the effort it takes to run a business and full costs involved.........seems like they want big businesses to thrive at the expense of everyone.......sorry for my long reply.
