Ravenscraig Castle and old steps
At one time built as a Castle for the Royal Stewarts, the castle and lands surrounding was swapped by the king for the Shetland and Orkney Isles from the St Clair family. Evidence of their influence on Kirkcaldy can be seen all around the town, The St Clair Tavern and St Clair street are but two examples. Most of the steps seen here are hewn from the existing rock, although some are now missing due to wear and tear of high tides. In fact this part of Kirkcaldy is still known as Sinclairtown.
