Tour Scotland Photographs Old Kirk Kirkcaldy Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the Old Kirk in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish church sits on an elevated site in Kirk Wynd, towards the northern end of Kirkcaldy High Street. Local legend states that the earliest church on the site was founded around 600 by St. Columba. The tower is said to date from around 1500, while the present body of the church dates from 1807. In 1244, the medieval church was given its dedication by Bishop David de Bernham of St Andrews, during a time in which he consecrated more than one hundred and forty churches in his diocese. The church was dedicated to both St. Patrick and St. Brisse, and at this time the church was given to the Abbey of Dunfermline.
