Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has expressed his hopes to Kingdom FM about Kirkcaldy following Dunfermline in becoming a city one day.
Two weeks ago, the latter of the two Fife locations was granted city status as part of the Platinum Jubilee.
Dunfermline became Scotland's eighth city as a result, but St Andrews lost out after putting in a bid for city status.
There isn't much difference between the total populations of both Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, with the former Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath MP saying the Lang Toun has a "great future" ahead of it.
Before representing that particular constituency in the House of Commons, he also used to represent Dunfermline East.
Meanwhile, a week today will be the start of this year's Adam Smith Festival of Ideas in the Lang Toun, with a range of events organised by Adam Smith Global Foundation.
Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, is doing a virtual lecture next Friday, Joanna Lumley is chatting with Arabella Weir a week tomorrow on Saturday 11 June, with the Food and Drink Fair also taking place alongside some other events next weekend.
Mr Brown has expressed his disappointment about ScotRail's temporary timetable in the run up to the festival, which is in place at the moment amid an ongoing pay dispute between the rail operator and the Aslef union.
Anas Hassan, our Kingdom FM reporter, chatted with the former PM about the forthcoming festival, as well as finding out his views on Kirkcaldy's future:
