About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
About Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy is a large town on the south coast of Fife, stretching along a four-mile waterfront on the Firth of Forth.
Known historically as the Lang Toun for the length of its high street, Kirkcaldy was once a major centre for linoleum manufacturing - at its peak, the town produced most of the world's supply.
Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, was born here in 1723 and the town's museum and art gallery houses an impressive collection of Scottish paintings.
The esplanade and promenade offer views across the Forth to Edinburgh and the town has a weekly market - the Links Market, held each April - that is one of the longest-running street fairs in Europe.
Kirkcaldy has a rail station on the Edinburgh–Dundee line, putting Edinburgh Waverley within 50 minutes.
About Fife
(opens in new tab)Fife is a large peninsula in eastern Scotland, bounded by the Firth of Forth to the south and the Firth of Tay to the north - a geography that has given it a distinct identity and earned it the traditional title of 'The Kingdom of Fife'.
Dunfermline is the largest town and a former capital of Scotland, while Glenrothes serves as the administrative centre and St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf and Scotland's oldest university.
The south-west of Fife has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining and shipbuilding shaped towns like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Rosyth - while the East Neuk coastline is defined by a string of picturesque fishing villages: Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Monans.
Inland, the Howe of Fife is fertile agricultural land dotted with market towns like Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Falkland, the last of these home to a beautifully preserved Renaissance palace.
Fife is well connected to Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and to Dundee via the Tay Road Bridge, making much of the region practical for commuters while retaining a strong sense of local identity.
