Kirkcaldy is the largest town in Fife, the birthplace of Adam Smith (author of The Wealth of Nations) and the home of what was once the world's largest linoleum factory. The town's long high street, reputed to be the longest in Scotland, runs along the coast, and Ravenscraig Park and the Beveridge Park provide green space. The town serves as Fife's main commercial and retail centre.
