Kelty (Scottish Gaelic: Cailtidh) is a former coal mining town located in Fife, Scotland. Lying in the heart of the old mining heartlands of Fife and adjacent to the M90 motorway, it is situated on the Fife/Kinross-shire boundary and has a population of around 6,000 residents. This was nearer to 9,000 when the coal mining industry was still operational in late 1970s and early 1980s.
