Kirkcaldy’s former cinema is unlikely to see any lights, camera or action in the immediate future.
Workmen had been spotted at the B-listed High Street building, sparking rumours that it was about to be brought back into use.
Having closed its doors 15 years ago, the former theatre has remained untouched, despite repeated calls from residents and councillors to have a picture house in the town.
However, despite recent activity, the building’s agent told The Courier that workmen were only on site to repair a wall adjoining the property, and that there were no further developments at this time.
Originally opened as the King’s Theatre in 1904, the building at the High Street’s east end first became a cinema in 1928.
Despite changing hands on several occasions, it remained Kirkcaldy’s main picture house until the lights went down permanently in December 2000.
During its lifetime it was also known as The Opera House and the Regal Cinema.
A plan to transform the building into a nightclub was rejected back in 2004.
