Local Fact of the Day: how Kirkcaldy floored the world 🏭

Michael Nairn built Scotland’s first floorcloth factory in Kirkcaldy. From 1877, Nairn’s produced linoleum too—and the town went on to become the world centre of the industry, exporting floor coverings far and wide. That is why Kirkcaldy is still proudly remembered as the town that floored the world. 🏭 Have you visited Kirkcaldy Galleries and its linoleum collection?
