Kirkcaldy High Street has been dealt a massive blow with the news its High Street Marks and Spencer is to close.
The shop, selling clothing, household items and food, has dominated the High Street for the past 80 years.
Shona Lawrie, M&S head of region for Scotland, said: “The decision to close M&S Kirkcaldy was incredibly difficult – we know we have many loyal customers who will be disappointed by the news.
“Closing and relocating stores is never easy but it is vital for the future of M&S.
“We’re pleased that our dedicated colleagues will all move to nearby stores including our new Foodhall at Glenrothes which is due to open in early 2019.”
While no date has yet been given for the closure, it is thought it will tie in with the opening of the new Glenrothes store.
