Kinglassie (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Ghlaise[2]) is a small village and parish in central Fife, Scotland.

These Schyres must not be confused with the shire of the present day; they were simply divisions of land, similar in extent to an average modern parish.

Fife Airport lies about a mile (1.5 km) to the north and, on a hill overlooking the farm of Redwells, stands Blythe's Folly, a 15.6-metre-high (51 ft) tower built in 1812 by an eccentric Leith ship owner.

Kinglassie's development during the late 19th and early 20th centuries was marked by its rapid expansion to house mine workers.

The Westfield open cast coal mine lies to the west of the village and is still regarded as the biggest man-made hole in Europe by local people.

It has a butterfly type plan consisting of two single storey rendered wings either side of a hexagon shaped hall.

The eco-committee consists of pupils, staff, parents, and members of the wider community, and is proactive in promoting conservation initiatives throughout the school.

The tower was built by a linen merchant to view ships as they entered the Forth, affording him the opportunity to procure the best goods at port.

The lower portion of the stone is all that remains of the cross and badly eroded decoration including a figure of an armed horseman above two beasts can be discerned.
