Kirkcaldy No More

Someone I know who used to teach at the beleaguered Kirkcaldy High School (alma mater of Gordon Brown and Adam Smith, and of which Thomas Carlyle was once Head Master) says that it only looks that bad because there has not yet been an inspection of the school down the road.

But he adds that it is still pretty awful, and that horizons are now so limited that once, when he was organising a trip to Holyrood for his Higher class, one of them asked if it would entail an overnight stay. You can actually see Edinburgh from Kirkcaldy.
