Beautiful Scotland is run by environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful and is part of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom campaign.
Kirkcaldy has earned recognition in previous annual competitions, and fingers are crossed for more when the judges visit on August 1.
When they last entered in 2022, they received a Gold award and the volunteers have once again focused on the town centre area creating a green corridor which runs from Kirkcaldy train station down to the waterfront.

Juliette Camburn, Senior Officer, Community Initiatives at Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “This time of the year is so exciting as our volunteer judges prepare to visit our wonderful family of groups all over the country.
“Every year we are blown away by the dedication, passion and determination of our groups to improve their local environment, not only for themselves and the people who live there but for visitors from across the world and for our wildlife too.
“Ahead of the judges visiting Growing Kirkcaldy on 1 August not only want to wish them the best of luck but also thank them for their fantastic enthusiasm.”
