Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Robert Nairn (JD Wetherspoon)
Formerly the Trustee Savings Bank, this 'spoons conversion unfortunately shows no sign of this heritage within the more interesting façade. Apart from a rather curious bronze statue, only standard furniture and decor throughout the 'L'-shaped layout of seating / dining areas. Astoundingly, just one clip on the six handpumps, offering Redcastle Red Lady (£1.99), although on enquiry it turned out that two other real ales were available but "the clips are in the office" (although they were subsequently put in place).

Aqualung . left this review about The Robert Nairn (Lloyds No 1 Bar)
I had something of a flying visit to this one as I had to stagger here from the station and back for the next train an hour later. It's set in an old stone built building and is a fairly large L shaped square room with the bar at the rear and smaller areas behind the bar to the right and on the immediate right as you enter.
There are only six hand pumps which had GK Old Speckled Hen, Doom Bore, Stewart's Solas & Black Jack and Wooha Wheat & IPA but one of the Wooha beers was marked as a 500ml bottle. This is a reasonable choice for a Lloyds.
I spotted the Normandy cider from the cider festival that I hadn't yet tried so went for that (£2.85). I didn't have time to notice if there were lots of uncleared tables.
Assuming this is a Lloyds it's one of the better ones and I thought it was OK.

This pub is part of the J.D. Wetherspoon group and The Robert Nairn being a Lloyds No 1. This pub opened on: 21 Dec 1999. This pub is named after a member of the Nairn family, helping to put Kirkcaldy on the map. In 1847, Michael Nairn started a floor-covering factory. He was so successful that others set-up similar businesses, and Kirkcaldy became the renowned as the 'linoleum centre of the world'. One of the Nairn's many gifts to the town included the land, which was donated by Robert Nairn to build the Trustees Savings Bank (TSB), which is now this Wetherspoon pub. The pub has with a split-level lounge and pictures of old Kirkcaldy on the walls. There are six hand pumps pumping out beers and ales. This pub serves 2 regular beers Caledonian Deuchars IPA and Greene King Abbot. There are large TV's which show various sporting events and news stories. As I visited at 09:00am I found the place was not very busy so I was served very quickly. The problem with staffing seems inherent to most Wetherspoon’s.

This pub must have thee worst service ever..everytime you go in there is never enough bar staff on and you have to wait forever to be served by an inexperienced bar person with no manners, they would rather talk to their friends that serve you. You get your drink and sit down everytime to a table that has not been cleaned, you have to ask for the table to be cleaned, what is happening to customer services it is at a zero in this pub.
