Education

Arncroach once had two schools, despite it only being a very small village, one was a boys school and the other was for girls. Later the two were combined as having two became in-practical. The Old School of Arncroach is now a holiday home after the school was closed in the mid 1900s. Children living in the village and surrounding area now have to travel to Pittenweem or Colinsburgh Primarys, and Waid Academy in Anstruther for secondary education
