Kirkcaldy, nicknamed the Lang Toun (Long Town), is set amongst several coastal towns and villages fringing the Firth of Forth in Fife. Kirkcaldy is famously Gordon Brown's constituency. The estate agents in Kirkcaldy say the town ticks plenty of property boxes, with frequent trains taking commuters to Edinburgh, and services onward to Newcastle, York and London's King's Cross. A motorway skirts the top of the town, putting Edinburgh Airport within a half hour's drive. Kirkcaldy was at the forefront of the British weaving industry, with coal and fishing further adding to the town's prosperity. Today, these former industries are all but gone, and the industrial land and redundant buildings drew in the developers. The former Seafield Colliery site is now a modern estate of detached houses with ocean views. Other types of property for sale in Kirkcaldy include low-rise harbourside apartments around the former docks, granite cottages, Victorian tenement flats, modern detached houses and post war semis. At the western edge of Kirkcaldy, Beveridge Park is encircled by some of the town's most sought after family houses.
