Tour Scotland photograph of Crail Church, Fife, Scotland. The most notable building in Crail is the 13th century parish church. There has been a church on this site since at least the twelfth century. The earliest known parish church on this site was a two celled Norman building, which is represented by small fragments in the chancel. It was consecrated in 1243 to Saint Maelrubha and after a successful petition by the Prioress of Haddington, became Collegiate in 1517, by which time it was known as St. Mary's. Between its foundation and 1815 there were many modifications and additions. In 1815 Robert Balfour undertook the first major renovation and a second was carried out by Judith Campbell in 1963.
