Kingseat is a village in Fife, Scotland, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Dunfermline. It was originally a coal mining village with the first pits sunk in the area in the mid 1800s.[2] The name of the village is thought locally to have originated from when the king would visit the area[3] to look out onto the River Forth and to Arthur's Seat.[4]

Amenities

The village has a public park which includes a play area and a football pitch.[5] There is also a Community Leisure Centre,[6] a bowling club,[7] a cattery, and formerly a shop with a post office.[8]

There used to be a hotel in the centre of the village, The Halfway House, but it closed unexpectedly in early 2015.[9] The building was demolished in November 2020.[10]

The village does not have its own primary school and instead falls under the catchment area for Townhill Primary School.[11]
