The main Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court building has been forced to shut after a door was set on fire.
Crews spent more than two hours tackling the blaze at the court on Whytecauseway after being called just before 5am on Thursday.
Police say the fire was started deliberately.
The outside of the building has been charred but it has not been confirmed if there is any internal damage.
Police cordoned off the scene for several hours as an investigation took place.
A post on X from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) said: “The main building in Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court is closed today.
“All criminal business will call at Kirkcaldy Annex, those coming to court should attend there.
“Civil business will be dealt with remotely and, if not possible, the hearings will be allocated a new hearing date.”
