The court annexe is based in the Kirkcaldy Police Station building.
A new court annexe to increase capacity at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court has been opened.
The building will initially hear custody cases before accommodating sheriff and jury cases.
The £3.7 million project consists of two new criminal courtrooms and a new custody suite, located within the existing Kirkcaldy police station complex at St Brycedale Avenue.

The immediate focus of the new annexe will be improved digital capability as critical business is prioritised during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Kirkcaldy’s sheriff clerk Neil Rawlings said: “I am delighted these building works are now complete.
“We will use them effectively during this challenging time and we look forward to these much-improved facilities being available to court users in the future.”
