See a similar image on the Scottish Cinemas website.
I just missed photographing this one for myself. By the time I started blogging it had been demolished. It’s a pity they couldn’t find a way to retain the facade.
A photo of the cinema in its heyday (taken from Burntisland.Net) is below.
Also in that Burntisland.Net link is a photo of the single remaining stained glass window which was removed before demolition plus two pictures relating to its post-cinema use.
More photos can be seen on the Scottish Cinemas website, including 65 of the interior prior to demolition.
A few years there was a proposal to fill the gap with a shop and flats. I’ve not been to Burntisland recently so don’t know if anything came of it.
