Best Hikes to Beveridge Park

Tips

  • Beveridge Park was laid out 1891-92 by William D. Sang, a noted local civil engineer and naturalist, on (104-acre) parcel of land, which Kirkcaldy Town Council had bought from the Raith estate. This purchase was financed by a bequest of £50,000 from Michael Beveridge, a linen manufacturer who served as Provost and died in 1890. 10,000 people attended the formal opening on 24th September 1892.
    Facilities include formal rose and flower gardens, a bog garden, woodland walks and a large boating pond.
    A motor sports circuit once ran around the edge of the park, which hosted racing for Formula 3 cars and motorcycles. The Scottish Road Races were held here between 1948 and 1988, by which time the speed and power of motorcycles had become too great for this circuit.
