The 252 Hall in Markinch was erected by local employer Tullis Russell & Company as a memorial to twenty-four of their employees who died in the Great War.

In 1993 the hall was handed over for use by uniformed organisations (Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies etc,) but is also available for hire by other local societies.
