ONE figure looms over the political scene in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath – former prime minister Gordon Brown, who represented this patch in various forms from 1983 to 2015.’s candidate for the area, is quick to shoot down any suggestion that the ghost of Broon haunts the Lang Toun.We are sitting in the handsome Kirkcaldy Library, which is also a museum of the town’s storied history.
