The site was developed for educationaI purposes around 1900. The orìginaI schooI building is of traditionaI stone and slate construction, having been extended over the years using a variety of building materials and styles. Subsequent to that, an adjacent and earlier Victorian, former mansion house and stables, was purchased and converted also for educationaI use together with sizeable grounds used as the school's playing fields. There has been a program of demolition recently to the rear of the Listed Building fronting Loughborough Road.
The site is accessed from Loughborough Road with secondary access currently available from Viewforth Gardens. Occupying an elevated posìtion above Kirkcaldy, views extend south across the Firth of Forth toward Edinburgh and beyond.
