Lochgelly

Among the communities of Fife, Lochgelly stands out for its coal-mining heritage and its proximity to Loch Ore. Mining shaped the town’s growth during the 19th and 20th centuries, while the former industrial landscape beside the loch has been transformed into Lochore Meadows Country Park. Its paths, woodland and waterside setting provide a different perspective on Fife beyond the coastal towns. Lochgelly is also home to the long-established Lochgelly Band, a brass band founded in 1854. The town lies inland between Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, with rail links connecting it to the wider region.
