Consequently we believe there are four key priority areas which should be addressed in our improvement agenda for session 2013/2014: the ethos and L to R: Georgia Butler (S5 Captain), Matthew McAnaw (S4 Vice-Captain), image of the school, exam attainment, Chris Fyfe (S4 Captain), Ethan Dickson (S5 Vice-Captain) further development of the curriculum and greater rigour in our quality Once again our S4 and S5 teams retained the shield as Scottish winners in the assurance (and self-evaluation) process.

Some of it may have been acquired by other councils, like the former county, or district councils. However, almost all former burghs had a Common Good Fund, which consisted of land, buildings, moveable items like paintings, and cash. The land and buildings which a burgh owned were made up of three main categories: those acquired under a statute (for example, land bought for council housing); land held on trust where a benefactor had provided for a specific trust to be administered by the fund; and Common Good property. What property now forms parts of the Common Good Fund may sometimes need research, as it may not be obvious from the titles what property was acquired for. 2 Anstruther ANSTRUTHER Former Burghs: Kilrenny Royal Burgh, Anstruther Easter Royal Burgh and Anstruther Wester Royal Burgh SRN (GRPN/OR ref) Asset (Name or description) Type of asset Location Town Extent Origin (Provenance) Accession number (if
