Tour Scotland video of the old church by the sea in St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Monans Church is situated within its kirkyard just to the west of the village on the very edge of the sea. It has a very dramatic setting, perched on a low rock, reached over a small valley with a burn. As seen from most directions it has the sea as a backdrop. A more modern cemetery stands further westwards on the upper slopes of the little hill. This contains the local war memorial. Standing at the extreme west end of this a romantic ruin can be viewed across fields, again perched on the sea edge. It is often said that St Monans is the church nearest the sea in the whole of Scotland.

Tour Scotland Video Drive To Carnbee East Neuk Of Fife



Tour Scotland travel video of a road trip drive on ancestry history visit to the parish church in Carnbee, East Neuk of Fife. This church was constructed in 1793 by Andrew Horsburgh, probably using the fabric of a previous church on the site. It is a rectangular, six-bay building with a session house to the west. The church is aligned east to west and is located a couple of miles inland of the fishing village of Pittenweem and around ten miles away from the famous St Andrews, on the east coast of Scotland. Situated about 1/4 of a mile from Carnbee is Kellie Castle formerly the seat of the Earl of Kellie and is also where the famous Lorimer family lived.

Tour Scotland Video Parish Church and Graveyard Anstruther East Neuk Of Fife


Tour Scotland travel video of the parish church and graveyard on ancestry, history visit and trip to Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife. The current church is made up of three previous Parish Churches. These were Anstruther Easter, Anstruther Wester and Chalmers Memorial, united in 1973. The building you are viewing was originally Anstruther Easter built in 1634 to allow the people of the area to worship locally, instead of having to make their way to Kilrenny Church. The steeple houses a clock with faces on three sides. This was paid for by public subscription and was put in place in 1878. The Church is a barn-like building with no apse or chancel. The steeple was an afterthought built in 1644, the spire the following year, to house a ‘siller bell’ brought from Holland. The bell is still in use today and bears the inscription “Andro Strang bought this bell with his ain monyes anno 1641.

Tour Scotland Photographs Parish Church Kilrenny East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the Parish Church in Kilrenny, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. There has been a church building in Kilrenny for over a thousand years. The first church in Kilrenny was probably connected with St Adrian, an Irish monk who lived in a cave at nearby Caiplie until killed by Vikings in 875. The old church was replaced in 1808 by the present building, although the tower still remains from the old church and dates back to the 1400’s.

Tour Scotland Photographs Kilconquhar Church East Neuk Of Fife November 17th

Tour Scotland photograph shot this morning of Kilconquhar Church, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Kilconquhar is pronounced locally as Kinneuchar. 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.
