United Burghs
The Act united a number of adjacent burghs under a single town council (listed in Schedule 2):
- Kilrenny, Anstruther Easter and Anstruther Wester
- Elie, Liberty & Williamsburgh and Earlsferry
- Bonnyrigg and Lasswade
- Blairgowrie and Rattray
- Kirkcaldy and Dysart
Where any of the merging towns was a royal burgh this status was to be continued in the united burgh.

Famous quotes containing the word united:
“The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
