Sobre IBD

The Lang Toun of Kirkcaldy has had its fair share of life’s problems. From 1244 to the present day, there have been events which stand out from the ordinary. Some are the stuff of history. Others are very personal – perhaps, to those not involved - quite unimportant. But taken together they illustrate a community with a common resilience to adversity, ready to face an uncertain future with confidence and faith. Kirkcaldy resident David Potter has found the best of those moments - one for each calendar day of the year - and brought them together, to prompt memories of triumphs and failures, of tragedies and joy.

  • Holy Dissent

In Holy Dissent: Jewish and Christian Mystics ...

  • East Fife On This Day
    David W Potter
    North of Kirkcaldy, lucky are those - from Levenmouth through the East Neuk to the Tay – who can count East Fife as their Club. It is, by some standards, a very young team, founded some 20 years after Raith Rovers, and a good 30 years after senior football had begun to take off. The first Scotland International was played in 1872, and the first Scottish Cup final took place in ...
