Kingseat is a village in Fife, Scotland, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Dunfermline. It was originally a coal mining village with the first pits sunk in the area in the mid 1800s.[2] The name of the village is thought locally to have originated from when the king would visit the area[3] to look out onto the River Forth and to Arthur's Seat.[4]
