Fife College was created on 1 August 2013 as a merger of Adam Smith College, Carnegie College and non land based elements of the Elmwood Campus of the rural college SRUC. When the merger was announced in March of that year the new principal was named as Hugh Logan, formerly principal of Motherwell College. Following the retirement of Hugh Logan, Hugh Hall was appointed as principal, taking office on 1 March 2017.
