These buildings, which appear to be Fife Council Offices, date from 1806 and 1908. A plaque nearby explains that they were a school until 1975. I assume that to mean they housed the burgh school. In 1552, the hill was the scene for the staging of an expanded version of David Lindsay's play 'The Satyre Of The Thrie Estaitis', which was first performed in Linlithgow Palace earlier in the same year.
