Kelty is a small former coal‑mining town in west Fife, Scotland, sitting on the lower slopes of the Ochil Hills close to the county boundary. It grew rapidly in the 19th and early 20th centuries around the pits and retains a strong working‑class identity, with remnants of miners’ housing and industrial heritage visible in the landscape.
Today Kelty feels like a tight‑knit community that has adapted to post‑industrial life: many residents commute to nearby towns while local life revolves around shops, community projects and the successful local football club Kelty Hearts, whose rise through the leagues has become a source of civic pride. The surrounding hills and woodlands also make the area popular for hillwalking and informal outdoor recreation.
