About Fencing in Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy in Fife is best known as the birthplace of the economist Adam Smith, born there in 1723 and later celebrated as the father of modern economics, having written much of his landmark work The Wealth of Nations while living in the town. His legacy is honoured in the Adam Smith Theatre, opened in 1899 on the 100th anniversary of his death thanks to a gift from local linen manufacturer and town provost Michael Beveridge. The town's other defining industry was linoleum, invented there in 1877 after floorcloth manufacturer Michael Nairn had already begun producing an early version of the material in 1847, and Kirkcaldy grew into the linoleum capital of the world, its streets famously scented with linseed oil, until the industry's decline in the mid 1960s saw the town's population fall sharply in the decades that followed.
