Old Photograph Glass Street Markinch Fife Scotland

Old photograph of cars, shop, houses and St. Drostans Church on Glass Street in Markinch village in Fife, Scotland. The parish church, prominently situated on a mound at the highest point of the town, and dedicated to the Pictish St. Drostan, is recorded in documents from the 11th century on, though it may well be of earlier origin. Though the body of the church is a plain Georgian " preaching box " of 1786, the adjoining tower is medieval, and may date to the late 11th-early 12th centuries. Of exceptionally fine masonry, it is very similar to the tower of St. Rule's Church in St Andrews.
