Kirkcaldy United FC started life as Kirkcaldy Amateurs in 1901-02 season. Then after just two seasons it was decided that they become Kirkcaldy's second senior club (Raith Rovers being the other).

They played their early games on an open field at Overton Park. In 1905 they moved into their new home, a purpose built park named Scott's Park (It no longer exist, it was situated at what was Scottish & Newcastle's Warehouse now Aldi's at McKenzie Street).
