The mercat shopping centre

This place is complete rubbish. Full of cheap and nasty shops such as home bargains, officers club, gift shops, factory shops and pound stores. The only thing worth visiting is TK Maxx which occasionally gets some reasonable brands in such as Moschino or Michael Kors but nothing like the Edinburgh or Newcastle store which gets Versace and Balenciaga.
The place has plenty pop up stores selling Christmas decorations, candy or calendars which soon disappear once the season has passed. It also has an odd, old, musty smell to the place and is home to one of the worst car parks in the world. Parking costs around £5 and i can only describe the place as a ghost town. Most shops are shut down or just junk shops. Even McDonald’s shut down as there was no custom. Save your money and drive to Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Also home to Fifes worst gym. Its small and the whole place just looks dirty. There is really no reason for anyone to go to Kirkcaldy.

A nice shopping centre with all the shops you would expect to find from the likes of TK Max and The officers club to an O2 shop and a chinese herbalist, this place has got the lot.
It has a greggs bakery and a subway roll shop so no need to go hungry, it also has a smoothie bar for the healthier amongst us.
As well as being a shopping centre the mercat is also home to Kirkcaldy‘s swimming pool. there is a café in the swimming pool which is open to the general public as well as the pool users.
The mercat has a bit of everything going on and as a photographer I often just take a seat somewhere inside to watch the world go by and catch an interesting image or two.
It has a multi story car park too so no worrying about parking, Parking rates are reasonable!
