Tour Scotland video of the interior of the Parish Church on ancestry visit to Kilconquhar, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The raised chancel area to the east of this Kirk has a communion table, two benches. an octagonal font, a lectern, and an elaborately carved pulpit. Women accused of being witches used to be thrown in Kilconquhar Loch, and if not drowned, this was seen as proof that they were witches and then they were burned at the stake! The spot where the church stands is thought to have been a Druidical place of worship and a burial ground long before the time of Christianity.
