There will be 90 candles on the cake to celebrate a special anniversary in Fife this month.
The Kirkcaldy Galleries, formerly known as Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery, turns 90.
On Saturday June 27 1925, 25,000 people congregated in Kirkcaldy to witness the opening ceremony of the new museum, which also formed part of the town’s war memorial.
Ninety years to the very day, on Saturday June 27, the staff and everyone associated with the landmark building will join together to celebrate the special milestone.
It is hoped the community will come together to help the day go with a swing.
An appeal has gone out from Fife Cultural Trust, which runs the galleries on behalf of Fife Council, to anyone who may have been at the opening as a youngster or living in Kirkcaldy at that time and recalls the day, to get in touch.
Or they would like to hear from anyone who has special anecdotes of the building through the years.
The construction of the museum was funded by the linoleum manufacturer John Nairn.
He donated the first paintings, two watercolours by the artist Arthur Melville, to the museum collection.
As well as his interest in art, Nairn also provided funds to the project because his son, Ian Couper Nairn, was killed in action in 1918 near the end of the First World War, and the building also served as the town’s war memorial.
To celebrate this anniversary there will be objects and images relating to the 90th anniversary on show over the next few months.
In the Moments in Time display on the ground floor there is a film running showing the opening ceremony in 1925.
Two paintings on show are connected to the anniversary an oil portrait of John Nairn as well as a painting of Balsusney House, the building that formerly stood on the museum’s site.
Until August there will be a display case with objects connected to the start of the museum collection.
These will include some of the first donations, such as objects that belonged to the Kirkcaldy child author Marjorie Fleming (1803-11).
