A man has been charged with an attempted murder in Kirkcaldy on Christmas Day.
The 47-year-old is set to appear in court on Thursday after the alleged stabbing in the town’s Templehall area on Saturday.

“Inquiries into the incident are ongoing and anyone with information can call 101, quoting incident 2049 of December 25.”
Much of the activity on Wednesday centred on Cairnwell Place, with the road shut for several hours.
One resident said: “The road has been blocked off all morning with no vehicles allowed in or out.
