Kelty (Scottish Gaelic: Cailtidh) is a former coal mining village located in Fife, Scotland. Lying in the heart of the old mining heartlands of Fife, it is situated on the Fife/Kinross-shire boundary and has a population of around 6,000 residents.[2] This was nearer to 9,000 when the coal mining industry was still operational in late 1970s and early 1980s.
