Background
History
Education in Dunfermline can be traced back to the founding of a monastic grammar school within Dunfermline Abbey in 1120. King David I (son of Queen Margaret and Malcolm Canmore) initially put up the money to found a school as part of the wider operations of Dunfermline Abbey in the early 1120s. In 1468, the will of the Abbot Richard de Bothwell made provision for a house and income for a schoolmaster. Burgh records from 1525 refer to the town school. When a new building was constructed in 2012, this was demolished to become playing fields. In June 2016 Iain Yuile was announced as Rector of the school.
