THE ABC KIRKCALDY, SCOTLAND 

The Carlton, Rio, ABC, the Raith and that's only four of them. It was great wondering which one to go to. Great times and still missed.

The right hand side of the auditorium is non smoking sign. Remember this . Reeked just the same, only difference was none blown directly in your face

i love it wasmy favret of the 4 picture house that was in kirkcaldy use to go as a kin on saterday morring me and cusin's sady ly missed

HIS NAME IS EDDIE PARYLO HE WAS ONE OF MY BEST MATES. JACK COOK KIRKCALDY.

great vid

It is sad theses great building ended up in decline. I always like to hear great stories about about the cinema experience of old cinemas.

Another very good presentation,miss those days so much.

my name is David Kinnison, i was a projectionist for over 25years. some of the people i worked with Betty farmer, vi motion, harry Rutherford, Grace Brough. i worked at the cinema from 1978-2000.

thanks for the trip down memory lane and glad my short time working there is now documented in this video... laughing at the memory of me sitting in every seat... my back couldnt do that now!

remember going there often as a kid, shame its ruined now, but its the way all cinemas are going sadly.... shame too, because in my mind, the solution to save the ones still in existence is quite simple, don't price yourselves out the market! if i were the manager in one of these i would make every seat, in every showing of every film £3, a full auditorium paying £3 each is far more lucrative than 8 people in a movie paying £10 or more each (and half of those are only there because of some deal on their phone contract or car insurance meerkat etc)...and crucially...the food and beverage sensibly priced, small profits on each seat/drink/sweety/hotdog/popcorn, will sell many times faster and this makes a trip to the cinema affordable for all, regularly, not just now and again

Its so sad to think that at one stage kirkcaldy had eight cinemas and now has none

ABC once held a Managers' Meeting there. I remember three of us from the North East viz: Norman Cully (ABC Sunderland) , George Skelton (ABC Darlington) and Yours Truly (ABC Newcastle) travelling by train. I think that was the last time I went across the Forth Bridge. All Scottish Managers greeted us at Kirkcaldy including good friend John Ferrari, GM of ABC Edinburgh. ABC Kirkcaldy Manager, Douglas Adams made Zone Manager, Lionel Johnson and the rest of us all very welcome and I recall that we had a wonderful lunch on the circle foyer with various staff (including the Chief Projectionist!) waiting on. One of my happiest memories of this era before things were to change entirely - not for the better, sadly........

Great video, very sad watching what happened to the building considering it was a listed building. Yes, shame on Odeon if its true what they did. It was like a plot to get rid of the place. ABC's were my favourite of all the chains here in the UK!!

I was in the ABC about a hundred times, and enjoyed watching this video. But I cringed every time you tried to pronounce "Kirkcaldy". Sorry 😢

such a waste and a sad state

Where's KirCALLdy? It's Kir-coddie. What's hard about that?
