Kirkcaldy Town House, Town hall in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
Kirkcaldy Town House is a town hall in Wemyssfield with a rectangular shape, flat roofline, and a clock tower topped with a weather vane of St Bryce. The building sits as the civic and administrative center for the area.
Construction began in 1937 but stopped during World War II, with the building finally completed in two phases between 1953 and 1956 by architects David Carr and William Howard. The delayed finish reflected the impact of war on Scotland's building projects.
Inside, a mural by Walter Pritchard shows local trades like linoleum making, coal mining, and weaving, along with portraits of notable residents. These artworks tell the story of the industries that shaped the town and gave it character.
The building is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and serves as the administrative headquarters for Kirkcaldy's area of Fife Council. Since it is an active civic center, visitor access may be limited depending on council business.
Six provost lamps from former royal burghs sit at the rear of the building, relocated there after the royal burgh system was abolished in 1975. These old street lamps stand as reminders of how local governance once worked.
