We start this weekend at Kirkcaldy’s Christmas Light Switch On – find us at a stall in the Mercat this Saturday afternoon to start nominating!

Throughout 2026, Stellar Quines will share these stories through events, photography, writing and performances made in and for the town. 🎭

Stellar Quines want to hear about the Kirkcaldy women, non-binary and trans people whose stories need to be told! They could be an everyday legend (community worker or helpful neighbour) or a well-known icon (artist or historical figure). 📖
