Celebrating 50 Years of Service to Our Community
In 2026, the Royal Burgh of St Andrews Community Council will celebrate its 50th anniversary — marking half a century of representing and serving the people of St Andrews.
To commemorate this important milestone, we are preparing a special publication and digital archive that will celebrate the Council’s formation, its many achievements, and the countless individuals who have contributed to the life of the town through their service.
As part of this, we are appealing to:
- Current and former Community Councillors,
- Local residents,
- Community groups, and
- Partner organisations such as Fife Council, the University of St Andrews, and others to help us collect stories, photographs, documents, press clippings, minutes, or other memorabilia that capture the history and evolution of the Council since its establishment in 1976.
These contributions will form part of our official 50th Anniversary Record, to be shared in 2026 as a lasting tribute to those who have shaped community life over the decades.
If you have anything that could help — large or small — please get in touch.
You might have:
- A photograph of a past Council meeting or community event,
- A copy of an early agenda or newsletter,
- A story about a key local project or personality, or
- Simply a memory worth sharing.
Please contact us via emai. 50years@rbstacc.org.uk or speak to any current member of the Community Council. We’d also love to hear from anyone interested in helping with the editorial or research process. Together, let’s honour 50 years of dedication, progress, and the people who made it possible.
Deadline for submission will be May 15th 2026
