The Boy In The Train by Mary Campbell Smith

Whit wey does the engine say ‘Toot-toot’?
Is it feart to gang in the tunnel?
Whit wey is the furnace no pit oot
When the rain gangs doon the funnel?
What’ll I hae for my tea the nicht?
A herrin’, or maybe a haddie?
Has Gran’ma gotten electric licht?
Is the next stop Kirkcaddy?
There’s a hoodie-craw on yon turnip-raw!
An’ seagulls! – sax or seeven.
I’ll no fa’ oot o’ the windae, Maw,
Its sneckit, as sure as I’m leevin’.
We’re into the tunnel! we’re a’ in the dark!
But dinna be frichtit, Daddy,
We’ll sune be comin’ to Beveridge Park,
And the next stop’s Kirkcaddy!
Is yon the mune I see in the sky?
It’s awfu’ wee an’ curly,
See! there’s a coo and a cauf ootbye,
An’ a lassie pu’in’ a hurly!
He’s chackit the tickets and gien them back,
Sae gie me my ain yin, Daddy.
Lift doon the bag frae the luggage rack,
For the next stop’s Kirkcaddy!
There’s a gey wheen boats at the harbour mou’,
And eh! dae ya see the cruisers?
The cinnamon drop I was sookin’ the noo
Has tummelt an’ stuck tae ma troosers. . .
I’ll sune be ringin’ ma Gran’ma’s bell,
She’ll cry, ‘Come ben, my laddie’,
For I ken mysel’ by the queer-like smell
That the next stop’s Kirkcaddy!

Lion Statue in Public Park

Highlight • Structure

The lions are thought to have been made at Methven Pottery, and to have come from the garden of Viewforth Tower or to have been a gift to the park in 1893 by John Nairn of Forth Park where they had graced the formal gardens. The Gate House alongside, was formerly the head keeper's house and a tea-room, but is now used as local authority offices.

Abbotshall Parish Church

Highlight • Historical Site

The parish of Abbotshall was originally created in the 17th century to the south of Kirkcaldy to cope with the quickly growing population while easing the pressure on the existing Kirkcaldy Old Kirk. The land the parish was created was on the large Abbotshall Estate (hence the parish's name), which was owned at the time by Sir Andrew Ramsay. In 1876 Abbotshall parish was absorbed into the Burgh of Kirkcaldy. The first parish church of Abbotshall was completed in 1674/5 and was quickly extended due to a growing population, which included many weavers and other industrial guilds. By the end of the 18th century a bigger building was required and the church was demolished apart from its west tower. The much larger church opened in 1788 and was further extended in the later 19th century. The church is surrounded by a graveyard with many old and important carved gravestones (including a re-used marriage lintel dated 1720 and several fairly rare cast-iron memorials) and a large hall complex stands at the edge of the graveyard, built in the 1880s and extended in the 20th century.
