For 150 years after the disestablishment of the Episcopal church in the reign of William and Mary, there was no church building in St Andrews. The various meeting places used by the congregation included a private house called Priorsgate on South Street, and an outhouse on Westburn Lane. The restrictions on the Episcopal church were relaxed after the death of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in 1788. In 1824 the foundation stone was laid of an Episcopal chapel on North Street, and this building was consecrated in 1825 and dedicated to St Andrew. By 1860 this building, with a maximum capacity of 220, was outgrown. The chapel was sold to the Free Church congregation in Buckhaven. The building was dismantled, the stones transported by sea to Buckhaven and rebuilt there. The history of the Scottish Episcopal Church, Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais Easbaigeach na h-Alba, is traced by the church to ancient times. The Church today is a Christian denomination in Scotland and a member of the Anglican Communion. It has enjoyed a distinct identity and is neither Roman nor English. It is therefore not a Daughter Church in the Anglican communion. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
