Kirkcaldy is the second largest down in Fife situated on the north banks of the Firth of Forth approximately 12 miles directly north of Edinburgh and 30 miles to the south west of Dundee. With an estimated population of some 50,000, the town is a major service centre for central and East Fife and offers a leisure centre, theatre, museum, art gallery, three public parks and an ice rink. The neighbouring town of Glenrothes is home to Fife Councils HQ which provides high levels of employment. More specifically, the site is bounded by Links Street to the north, Heggies Wynd to the east, Fergus Wynd to the west and The splanade to the south. The surrounding area offers a complimentary blend of commercial and residential uses with the major supermarket chains Morrisons and Lidl within a short walking distance. The site is bounded by a private members Gym (Gym 64), a car dealership and The Philp Hall which is a local community centre. To the south of the Esplanade is a former bus depot site which previously trialled Hovercraft crossings directly to Seafield in Edinburgh. This unfortunately didn't lead to a permanent mode of commuting transport connecting Kirkcaldy to the capital city of Edinburgh, however, the site has more recently been promoted for a mixed use residential led development opportunity,
