Station Road, KY14 7DP

If travelling through Auchtermuchty on the A91 eastbound, turn right (south) onto the B936 signposted Falkland & Kirkcaldy. After 0.1 miles turn left into a small Industrial estate (the cemetery entrance is actually within this estate). Follow the road round to the right towards the Sterling Furniture Depot gates; the gates to the cemetery are immediately on your left.

There are five CWGC graves here.
