Kelty

:"See Kelty (company) for the manufacturer."Kelty is a town located in Fife, Scotland. Kelty is a former mining village in the heart of the old mining heartlands of Fife. It is situated on the Fife/Kinross-shire boundary with a population of around 6000 residents. This was nearer to 9000 when the mining industry was still operational in late 70s and early 80s.

Kelty has two Primary schools, St. Josephs and Kelty Primary, it also has a modern community centre, and a modern Library.

Having completed primary school, the majority of pupils go on to study at Beath High School in Cowdenbeath - a comprehensive school, or the local Roman Catholic school - St Columba's High School in Dunfermline.

The local Junior Football team is Kelty Hearts.

Kelty is located next to the main Edinburgh to Perth road, the M90 motorway, and as a result of this has seen a large number of houses built primarily for commuters to Edinburgh over the past five years.
