Old Photograph Lumsden Memorial Hall Freuchie Fife Scotland

Old photograph of people outside Lumsden Memorial Hall in Freuchie, Fife, Scotland. In 1794 a Secession church was built on the site which is now occupied by the Lumsden Memorial Hall, on the eastern edge of Freuchie. Eventually the congregation grew too large and a new church was erected on Church Street in 1868. By this point, the congregation had been United Presbyterian for twenty one years. Lumsden Memorial Hall dates to 1883. Freuchie was once used by the Royal family as a place of banishment from the Court when it was in nearby Falkland Palace. The Scots saying " awa tae Freuchie an eat mice " was thought to come from this time.
