“The 92nd annual excursion “THE TRIP!” of St Patrick’s Shotts will take place on Sunday 17th of June. This years destination is Burntisland in Fife! St Patrick’s Picnic Group have once again chartered a train from ScotRail to take us all safely to and from our destination and requested the attendance of St Patrick’s Brass Band to accompany the school children in their processions. This promises to be another great parish/family day out at the seaside.”

Last night’s decision to move some events from The Links to the Church Hall was wise – plenty of rain this morning.

It stopped just in time for the Parade after the crowning ceremony in Burntisland Church.

The Pipe Band led and children and adults from local groups followed.

Many had costumes inspired by the “Music Through The Decades” theme.

(Torrential rain at 2:30.)

UPDATE 2.7.18.

The Fife Cultural Trust website has now been changed and no longer says the Museum is shut!

On the day that the Heritage Centre’s annual exhibition opens, you might also like to go round the corner to visit the Burntisland Museum. (Not to be confused with the Museum of Communication which is also open.)

According to the Fife Cultural Trust website it’s shut, but Fife Council’s site says it’s open when the Library is – you just need to ask for the key!

It’s a bit neglected, which adds to its fascination. It contains impressions of an “Edwardian fairground” plus a small “Local History Gallery” which includes models of a frigate and aircraft carrier built by The Burntisland Shipbuilding Company.

Burntisland Civic Week

⚠ *** SATURDAY 16TH JUNE – UPDATE TO PARADE DAY ARRANGEMENTS *** ⚠

Due to the forecast rain tomorrow afternoon we’re having to move our events indoor into the Parish Church Halls.

The crowning of the Summer King & Queen will take place in the Parish Church as usual, and we still plan on parading unless it’s too heavy rain. Amended timetable:
