First home owners move into development on site of former Kirkcaldy school

The development by Whiteburn features 72 new two, three and four bedroom homes and 15 affordable homes on Loughborough Road.

The school closed in 2016, and the abandoned building suffered several devastating fires before finally being demolished to allow construction work to begin.

Eve McCurrich, managing director for Whiteburn said: “This is a really special point in Viewforth’ s journey as we start to create a new community. It is great that our customers can now start to call this development their home.”

The first homeowner to pick up their keys and move in was Elle Henderson.

Sheo said: “Whiteburn have created my dream home.”

She was followed by neighbour Neil Thain who added:: “The day I received my keys and walked into the house I felt at home right away.”
