The Ground
Stark’s Park, located in the coastal town of Kirkcaldy, has been the home of Raith Rovers F.C. since 1891 . One of Scotland’s classic football grounds, it combines historic design with modern updates, giving it a traditional yet functional feel.
The stadium is fully seated and known for its unique layout, squeezed between a railway line and the surrounding streets, a feature that gives it a distinctive character . The Main Stand, designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch, remains a standout feature, while the other stands create a compact, enclosed environment that keeps the atmosphere close to the pitch.
On matchdays, the ground offers a proper old-school Scottish football experience, with a loyal home support and a friendly, community-driven feel.
