The Fife Arms, 250 St Clair Street, Kirkcaldy

The Fife Arms is a public house located at 250 St Clair Street in Kirkcaldy, dating from the mid to late 19th century and altered in 1886. It is a two-storey building with three bays above ground, constructed of painted and stugged ashlar with harl on the sides and ashlar dressings. The building features segmental-arched windows and a pointed-arched door, along with base, first-floor cill, and eaves courses. There is a continuous hoodmould, chamfered cills on the ground floor, and stone mullions and transoms with moulded arrises.

The west (principal) elevation is symmetrical. The ground floor has a common hoodmould and transom, with a door located to the left of centre, flanked by bipartite windows that have decorative dividing mullions, and an additional window to the right. The transom above these openings features decorative, coloured, and leaded lights, while the outer openings are blocked. A full-width, corniced band course runs above with plain lettering that reads 'THE FIFE ARMS'. The first floor has a central window and bipartite windows in the flanking bays, with two large canted dormer windows above. There is a flat-roofed extension to the south.

The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in timber sash and case frames, while the ground floor has fixed glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans, along with ashlar-coped skews featuring square skewputts.

Inside, there is a modern bar, but the upper floors were not seen during the last inspection in 1997.
