Tour Scotland Photographs Auchtertool Kirk


Tour Scotland photograph of Auchtertool Kirk and cemetery in Fife, Scotland. This beautiful and peaceful place has been a sacred place of worship since 1178. The building has lovely stained glass windows, one of which is a war memorial. Also a Casson and Miller organ from 1886. The kirkyard has many 17th century tablestones. James V visited nearby Halyards Palace after his defeat at the Battle of Solway Moss on his return to Falkland Palace. The King died shortly after. Alexander Boswell was mortally wounded in a duel in Auchtertool in 1822. He died in nearby Balmuto House. The duel was one of the last in Scotland.
