Burntisland Highland Games Day 2025: The big day on Monday 21st July was a big success. Thank you to Burntisland Highland Games Committee volunteers and to Burntisland and District Pipe Band. The Exiles Reception and Parade was organised by Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council as usual. Five Burntisland 'Exiles' and invited dignitaries enjoyed light refreshments and speeches in the Burgh Chambers before assembling in the street for the Parade to the Games arena on the LInks. Amazingly, despite forecats of rain and storms, it stayed dry, warm and sunny. The Binn race drew a larger than usual cohort of runners who found the warm humid weather an additional challenge.

Summer Fair: The Fair leaves 24th August. Organisers: Showmen's Guild (Scotland): https://showmensguild.co.uk/members/scottish-section/ 

Burntisland Community Action Plan 2023-28 - Review June 2025: Many thanks to all of you who took the trouble to give your comments and respond to the survey. This review is now complete. It shows that all the original Priorities remain, though there has been some shift of thinking, and a few new ideas within the current Priorities. A summary of the review and consultation is on the CAP page. Key new concerns are: ticks in long grass, and a wish to have a better performing arts space, especially a music venue. Thank you to our Burntisland Community Development Trust partners for their support.

East Links Splash Pad: We are delighted to say that after three years of waiting, we finally have a committment from Fife Council to press ahead with a refurbishment of this ever popular wet play facility! It's to be a similar wet facility to the old one that's now at the end of its life and broken - though the final design is not yet known. Work should start this year and hopefully it'll be ready for summer 2026. The estimated cost is £312,000. A crowd funder has already successfully raised over £3,000. The CC successfully submitted an application for a £30,000 grant to Fife Environmental Trust. Burntisland Common Good Fund will contribute £59,000 and Scottish Government £70,000, with the rest (£150,000) contributed by Fife Council .

BiFab Shed: This landmark at the west docks will soon be only a memory. Forth Ports has a contractor on site to demolish the damaged old BiFab shed at the west docks. Demolition works are temporarily suspended to allow nesting gulls to raise their young.

Public Community Council Meetings: These are now held every 3rd Tuesday of the month (except July when there is no meeting). This is a change from the 2nd Friday of the month. We are running hybrid meetings using Zoom.

(See tab on the right of this page to download an agenda.) If you would like a topic added to the agenda please use the 'contact us' box.
