A Fife community is creating a £30,000 memorial to 21 men killed in a 19th century fishing disaster. Three St Monans boats, were lost after being caught in a severe storm in November 1875.. The tragedy left 11 women widowed and 43 children fatherless, and devastated the close-knit community. Two further boats from nearby Cellardyke also went down in the disaster. Now St Monans villagers aim to commemorate the local lives lost through the creation of a memorial garden.

The Scottish Deer Centre is launching a pre-school children’s nursery as it continues its revival. While many zoos welcome nursery visits, the Cupar attraction will be among the few to actually have one on site. Opening on June 9, it will be run by experienced nursery manager Kath Webster, with space for 30 two to five-year-olds. And it will be fully outdoor, with youngsters able to take cover in a yurt for some activities.

Police have launched an investigation into alleged financial irregularities at St Andrews Links Trust. The probe follows the dismissal of the Trust’s finance and corporate affairs chief Lyall Dochard in March. A routine audit raised questions over a six-figure sum of money, including expenses claims. The matter was not reported to police immediately. However, sources say trustees later unanimously agreed to refer it to the force.

A £4.4 million extension to an under-pressure Kirkcaldy secondary school has been mooted amid continued housebuilding. Viewforth High School opened in 2016 with capacity for 600 pupils. However, the school roll already exceeds 700 and could rise to more than 1,000 if further housing developments are approved. The existing capacity issue comes “as a direct impact” of newly-completed homes.
