what is the music. Its lovely. Ive heard it before

Thank you for the footage. My parents met at Ravenscraig General Hospital ( they both worked there) back in the late 50’s.

Fife was well named as the " Kingdom " .

In '76, I piloted a blue-yellow Rogallo wing from a 130-foot hill known as Centennial Hill, located just west of Toronto near the airport. - Thanks for that!

Are there blueprints for the Cirrus III or Falcon IV ? I want to make one.

Love it. Great choice of music too. Was that the STV start-up music back in the day?

No gangs of Muslims having barbecues on the beach. No county lines gangs, big issue sellers or delivery riders either.

Nairns empire being demolished….

When the rot set in. Only to be expected,I suppose: when certain individuals express ideals it brings the majority out in a panic , they have to be seen to compromise and refute and the old corrupt ways continue only worse than before. And so It has been ever since. And has been since time immemorial . History is a series of events in which evil conquers good time and time again. And no-one learns the lesson that compromise is failure

The cottage where I had my honeymoon is now under the M25.Where I played as a child is a housing estate , the place where I worked an industrial estate and my school a car park soon to be houses.

I miss the days when you could tell each car coming towards you by its distinctive shape. Today they are all computer designed shapeless blobs which you have to check the badge to see what it is.

Shock horror! An imported car spotted in Scarborough!! ... An unusually unpatriotic Brit perhaps, or did it belong to an overseas tourist?

How did you get such good quality footage?

This is the country the boomers inherited, and what did they leave Gen Z with? Infinite migration and bankruptcy

I remember Viscounts, Vanguards, etc. flying over the house which would vibrate.

So a great time, thank you for sharing this Video.

Fascinating video. We’re not natives, we moved from Edinburgh in the late nineties to the new houses at Seafield, on the Kinghorn road. Hard to believe it was over twenty years ago. We love Kirkcaldy. It was quite a big move for us, but we’ve never regretted it.

Thanks for this, shame it just missed the gable end of my house. Could you upload the whole of the earlier cine footage please?

I'm watching this 30 minutes after Sadiq Khan won a 3rd term as London Mayor. Thank God I don't have kids.

Excellent video. Was great seeing it how my parents/grandparents would've seen it

Thanks for this video. My stepfather was from Kirkaldy and I lived there for a few years in the late 60's when i was a child.🥰

Before being forcibly "culturally enriched". There's no going back to those halcyon days.

I did a post 1945 project about 12 years ago, the younger ones have missed the best times this country saw, they may have had austerity, but Britain still had pride,identity,community and politicians that resigned when they did something wrong. Unlike the amoral reptiles of today.

Born in 61 great memories now the place has gone thanks to immigration end off 👍🦊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

When England was England, don’t know the country now with these infiltrators in charge.

Then and now, the difference in society might as well be different planets.

I was born in 1954, so can relate to these images very well, and indeed they do speak of a time that seemed more comfortable. Have to remember though that those of us who remember them were young at the time, and that can skew perception. Mass car ownership was just beginning, and cheap holidays on the med also. All of which would impact these scenes in a few years. There was full employment and the post war social contract still in place, later dismantled by Thatcher, and still ongoing. Although life was more straightforward the, god it was often bloody boring too. Take the rose tinted glasses off. Life can be more challenging now, but more interesting in many ways. Look forward, not back.

My Grandma Dorothy Gardiner, emigrated from Kirkcaldy in the early sixties. She moved to New Zealand with her husband Alec McEwan. He was from nearby Auchterderran/Cardenden. I've never visited Fife but I will one day

Lovely show, yes it's the past happy days when we were growing up, shame it's not the same! Happy faces let's hope it comes back x

😢😢😢😢 what have they done to our country 😢😢😢😢

My heart weeps for our once great country, and the frequent of our grandchildren.They will never experience the peace and freedoms that we had back then. It is very scary what they will have to go through to survive in this now crazy country!

Come to where i used to live in armley leeds , every shop now is eastern european . Thank goodness i moved out 25 years ago to live in the countryside near Ilkley. Its how the United Kingdom used to be years ago. Multiculturalism, thanks Tony Blair, it's not working and it will never work.

I imagine that's how my grandmother would have seen her home town, the older buildings and shoreline. She was born in Dysart in 1901, before moving here to Toronto, Canada. And actually her maiden name was Keddie.

The helicopter would have been from RAF Leuchars, something else that's gone.

This has been the biggest waste of money since Queen Victoria lost her virginity. Why would anyone want to visit Leven? Vape shops, barbers and bakers are the only thing there. Plus the 'station' is a glorified bus-stop with zero fascilities. It's a farce.

It gladdens my heart to see so many white British people enjoying themselves.

Brilliant to see! I'm a native to Kirkcaldy..lived on Dysart road and attended viewforth high! Which has sadly been demolished! I remember the hospital at the bottom of Sinclair street but it was a derelict building by then! Amazing to see the change but sad at the sametime.

How wonderful, thank you so much

Thanks Robert

Correction - Andania was on 25 November, not the 26th.

According to Realtime Trains, intensive running starts on Wednesday 10 January.

Several buildings in this clip no longer exist - how many can you spot? (I managed 6.)

I remember all the farmland. Hayfever went haywire every year.

Some great camera shots there giving realistic portrayals of vintage trains and rolling stock. Especially liked the views from the roof of the carriages, both looking forward and back and also the view from the opposite platform as the train came through the station. Made it all look quite real.

Braw setup and guid soonds. 🎉

The part of Glen Lednock at Invergeldie remains the same! Also Tobermory, people say ferries always went to Craignure, but I competed at Highland Games on Mull and certainly used to arrive at Tobermory Pier. Thanks for posting. Any footage of Highland Games in 1980s?

Superb Robert Thanks for sharing it, can we go back to 65 far better happier times

The original footage was rather wobbly so I isolated the decent bits and slowed them down. I can't fire the camera operator though as she's my mum.

Cool

Hi its the person you met at kirkcaldy train station when flying scotsman was there and the class 40 and 47
