Bid to brighten up Kirkcaldy town centre with murals and lights

The centre of Kirkcaldy has been lit up as part of a project to improve the town.

Fife Council said efforts to make streets and wynds more attractive were in response to feedback from local residents and were aimed at encouraging more people into the town centre.

The project has included installing murals and coloured lights at the newly renovated steps connecting the Kirkcaldy Centre, which was formerly the Postings, to the High Street.

One of the murals by artist Kerry Wilson.

Tolbooth Street has also been fitted with a canopy of lights and there are plans for planters and concealed bin stores.

Meanwhile, Redburn Wynd, Adam Smith Close and Olympia Arcade are also earmarked for improvement works over the coming months.

The improvements are part of a wider investment of more than £3 million in Kirkcaldy town centre, with funding coming from Fife Council and the Scottish Government as part of the Town Centre Capital Grant Fund.

Labour councillor Neil Crooks, convener of Kirkcaldy Area Committee, said: “It’s really difficult to deliver what people want in a timescale which matches their ambition.

“However the more information we gather from comments, conversations and consultations the better we can prepare a case for investment and respond to tight timeframes set by the Scottish Government.

“These improvement works look fabulous and I want to thank the influencers who talked about art and lighting and the council officers who have brought it to fruition.

“If you haven’t been down the street for a while the lights make such a positive impact and are elements of what we hope will be a growing unique experience for town centre visitors.”
