SalaryEden Scott is delighted to be working with OnFife, an ambitious Public Sector Trust, Fife’s largest cultural organisation who specialise in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up and imaginations run wild.

The popular library is a regular draw for young families attending Book Bug sessions, students using public access PCs and avid readers looking for that next book by their favourite author.
There’s a constant flow of delegates attending meetings and events and local community groups are busy teaching guitar, karate and plenty more. Their thriving café is a welcoming space for a leisurely cuppa and a natter for groups of friends; when night falls it’s a busy bar serving theatre goers looking forward to singing along to some classic tunes.
