Rotary Club of Kirkcaldy marks its 100th birthday

On May 11 1921 a group of Kirkcaldy businessmen met and formed what later became The Rotary Club of Kirkcaldy.

And one hundred years later to the day, members of the Club marked the special milestone by holding a Zoom cocktail party to start the celebrations of their centenary.
