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

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:
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
