Fife couple celebrating 60 years of marriage in Cardenden

Frank and Nessie Cuthbert marked 60 years of marriage on March 26, 2026.

Their initial encounter took place while returning from the dancing at Cowdenbeath Palais.

The couple got married on March 26, 1966, at St Fothads.

Both originally from Cardenden and Dundonald respectively, they have made their home on Balgreggie Road, Cardenden, Fife, for the past 45 years, and are parents to their son Ian, born in 1968.

Before retiring, Frank worked in Taylors and Rank Strand in Kirkcaldy, while Nessie was employed at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The couple have cultivated individual interests as well as shared hobbies over the years.

Frank enjoys watching football and walking his dogs, Nessie likes swimming and keeping fit, and both love gardening and holidaying in Tenerife.

The Cuthberts have two grandchildren, Daisy and Arran.

The couple celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary surrounded by family and friends at Bowhill Bowling Club.

The festive gathering was marked by a visit from councillor Rosemary Liewald, who presented the couple with a gift voucher on behalf of the council.

Col Jim Kinloch, Deputy Lieutenant, representing the Fife Lieutenancy, also congratulated them on their milestone.

The Cuthberts’ celebration comes as a joyful moment for their family, drawing inspiration from a couple whose shared life began on an ordinary day, on a train from Cowdenbeath Palais.
