Constituency Profile
The constituency includes the town of Kirkcaldy and some popular seaside resorts, such as Burntisland and Kinghorn. Though coastal, it is dependent upon both light and heavy industry, their decline leading to above-average unemployment. In Westminster elections the area has been safely held by Labour since 1945.

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or profile:

And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
