The Wemyss Ware Cat Trail took place between April and October, 2026. It was organised by the Adam Smith Global Foundation, founders and administrators of the Kirkcaldy Lottery.

Local artists decorated 17 giant cat sculptures, and these were situated on roadsides, in parks and outside shops, cafes and museums around Kirkcaldy – and beyond.

The cats were very well-loved by locals, and on October 3rd they were auctioned off at a packed event at the Adam Smith theatre. The public auction raised over £100,000 – all of which will be reinvested in local projects. You can read about the auction and see pics here.
