Location - Brookside is located in the peaceful rural hamlet of Cluny, just a short distance from Kirkcaldy, offering quiet countryside living with excellent accessibility. The nearby A92 provides fast road links across Fife, including easy access to Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and eastern Fife. Rail services from Kirkcaldy Railway Station (located within the main town centre area and close to local amenities) offer convenient connections for commuters and travellers alike, with the town’s centre situated roughly 650–700 metres from key local facilities and transport links. This combination of rural tranquillity, strong transport connections, and proximity to the wider services of Kirkcaldy makes Brookside an appealing and well-placed location.
