Harbourmaster’s House
Harbourmaster’s House is a B-listed 18th century building in Dysart, Kirkcaldy, Fife. It’s the home of Fife Coast and Countryside Trust’s HQ. The building was renovated and refurbished in 2006 as part of a £1 million project involving Fife Council, FCCT, Dysart Regeneration and the Dysart Trust. We are proud that our historic headquarters overlook Dysart Harbour which is one of Fife’s oldest harbours. This historic and atmospheric location has featured in the television epic ‘Outlander’. And, of course, the harbour is an important link in the Fife Coastal Path!
Harbourmaster’s House is accessible. The award-winning public toilets have an accessible toilet and baby changing. Check our toilet opening hours.
Why not pop upstairs (lift available) to our office and purchase merchandise from our shop? We have Fife Coastal Path and Fife Pilgrim Way branded goods like t-shirts, hats, pin badge, tote bag, map and books. We welcome cash and card payments.
Harbourmaster’s Café
Our historic HQ is also home to the Harbourmaster’s Café, which is run by John Malone and his team. The café serves freshly cooked seasonal fayre, soup, coffee and ice cream. So whether you are walking the Fife Coastal Path, or exercising your dog in Ravenscraig Park, there is sure to be something to tempt your taste buds. The views out across Dysart Harbour and the Firth of Forth are spectacular at any time of the day, month and year. Furthermore, it’s a great location to spend some time over coffee and a warm scone!
Harbourmaster’s House has excellent disabled access. You can park just a few metres away in the free car park for Dysart Harbour. And if you fancy a longer walk, park at Ravenscraig Park and wander down. The Harbourmaster’s House toilets have been recognised in the national Loo of the Year Awards for a number of years.
From Spring to Autumn 2026 the café is open 10am to 4pm, and it is closed on Wednesdays. You will find the café is accessible and the public toilets, include an accessible toilet and baby changing.
