Latest Kirkcaldy hotel reviews
iaint Says: Beveridge Park is close to the town centre, maybe 10 minutes walk from the railway station.It was gifted to the town - in the days of municipal munificence - by one of the local worthies. I take it for granted. I run around it most weekends as part of my 5 mile (8 km)...
iaint Says: Named after the town's most famous son (at least until Gordon Brown came along), this is the municipal arts centre. It has a truly eclectic range of performances. This autumn's (2007) events range from the European Ballet performing Coppelia to the Adam Smith Theatre for...
iaint Says: I just realised I've been taking this for granted. 3-4 years ago the local Council created these walks, and I've been running on them ever since. Much more fun than running in the park or on the pavements/roads.Anyway, this morning while I was jogging along I came upon a...
iaint Says: I already have a tip about the harbour at Dysart - one of my favourite local spots. Since that was created, the local council has renovated the old harbourmaster's house and re-opened it as a mini visitor centre/cafe/community use facility.I've started to use it for...
iaint Says: I had dinner in Jock’s Bar this week - my 2nd visit to the place this year. It’s only a 20 minute drive from Kirkcaldy if you know the road and it’s quiet. 22 minutes otherwise...The dinner was very good - the Mexican platter. This involved a bowl of chili con carne, a...
iaint Says: Friendly service and good food/wineUPDATE!Just been back last night after a 5 year gap. We had a lovely dinner - mussels (cream & chilli sauce, in my case) then duck breast witha pineapple salsa. Then chocolate panacotta! Excellent and good service.£70 for 2 - 3 courses plus...
Belvedere Hotel, West Wemyss: good location...
iaint Says: It is a wonderful location looking out over the harbour and Firth of Forth. The architecture of the building is unusual, at least for Scotland (see photo).Service was quick and friendly, and the prices reasonably. Certainly not an adventurous menu, but probably geared...
Beveridge Park Hotel: good enough...
iaint Says: There for a Christmas lunch in December 07. My first visit since new owners took over.As these things go, it was above average, but then it was not cheap either. £26 for 3 courses (turkey etc) plus 2 glasses of wine.The service was good & so are the surroundings. The food...
Dunnikier House Hotel: a find!
iaint Says: I've been to this place often recently for breakfast - a business networking event - and one of the happy networkers recommended I try lunch/dinner.Had an excellent lunch there this week. A beetroot, goat's cheese & chicory salad, then chicken, then panna cotta with...
Anstruther Fish Bar: award winner
iaint Says: This place is a Fife institution, and famous throughout Scotland. Traditional Scottish fish & chips, but at the very pinnacle of the business.It regularly wins awards, resulting in queues all day every day. You can sit in the restaurant, or as we did, take your food across...
iaint Says: A very traditional Scottish pub, in the best sense of that phrase. Before the smoking ban, it was no fun for non-smokers but that has changed big time. Last night (23.8.7) I had 20 minutes to "kill" before I collected my son from Scouts, so I walked down the steps towards...
iaint Says: This is a traditional Scottish pub. Friendly, no loud music (well almost). It is more than 250 years old! Established 1750. Can't get more traditional than that.Having said that, they do have live bands in the lounge next door. Its odd in such an old place, and because it...
iaint Says: A local independent wine merchant. I've been using it regularly since the licensing laws changed in September 09, and I couldn't buy wine in the supermarket until 10am. How silly is that? Anyway, Tesco's loss...Stuart & Kim have a huge selection and take pride in showcasing...
iaint Says: Like many Scottish towns, Kirkcaldy has a farmers' market. It is not the kind of huge event you will find in France (for example), but a welcome respite from the bland homgeneity of the supermarkets. It is held on the last Saturday of the month, and is located in the square...
gordonilla Says: When I lived in Kirkcaldy, I visited a local cemetery, Abbotshall Church yard, with an elderly friend. I was taken to a monument to commemorate Marjorie Fleming aka Pet Marjorie. I was quite surprised by her story.
iaint Says: Kirkcaldy is blessed with lots of beaches and small villages in the surrounding area. Way out east - the East Neuk - they are all picture postcard types. Closer to home, they are more prosaic.Kinghorn is in the latter category. A rough diamond. It has 2 little harbours, 2...
iaint Says: This is becoming a bit of a local institution. It is located a few miles along the coast, west of Kirkcaldy.The setting is wonderful - see photos.The range of activities is too wide to detail here - have a look at their website. I'm a member, and recently "acquired" a garden...
iaint Says: If you feel like some fresh air, light exercise and some wonderful scenery, why not try a walk up one (or 2) of the Lomond Hills.I conquered East Lomond this week. Wow! Thought about tackling West Lomond after that, but I wasn't sure i had enough daylight left. Another...
iaint Says: The path passes through Kirkcaldy. It stretches from Kincardine in the southwest to the Tay Bridge in the north east. 150 kilometres in total.I walked a 2 mile stretch after work one evening this week. And then back again, so 4 miles all in. I started in Dysart and got as...
iaint Says: No, not BB King or Etta James; local rugby team. Play in Scottish 3rd division - not great standard, but OK. They were in division 1 a couple of years back, but couldn't keep the good players together...Great to get outside for 90 minutes in January, lots of fresh air. Even...
