Kincardine-on-Forth Local History Group
The Kincardine-on-Forth Local History Group is dedicated to exploring the history of Kincardine, Fife, Scotland as well as other more general aspects of both local and global history. Meetings are held from 7.00pm to 9.00pm every second Wednesday throughout the winter in the Community Centre, Anderson Lane, Kincardine. Visitors are always very welcome.
We are a group of amateur enthusiasts who are keen to learn and document everything to do with the history of Kincardine and its people, and we are always pleased to hear from anyone with information, stories or photographs that may be of interest to us. So if you know of something to do with Kincardine's past and think we should know about it too, please get in touch!
Tullibody History Group was formed in February 2001, by a group of interested people who were concerned about the lack of recording of our local history and heritage.
