About Kincardine

Kincardine is a village on the upper Firth of Forth in the far west of Fife, where the Kincardine Bridge crosses to Clackmannanshire and the Clackmannan Bridge carries the A876.

The village was historically a port and trading centre, and its mercat cross and 17th-century tolbooth hint at a more prominent past.

Longannet Power Station, once Scotland's largest coal-fired power station, operated on the shore east of the village until its closure in 2016 — its site is being considered for redevelopment.

Kincardine has a quiet residential character, local shops, and a position that gives it connections westward to Alloa and Stirling as well as east to Dunfermline.

About Fife

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.
