Tour Scotland photograph of the old Parish Church and cemetery in Kinghorn, Fife, Scotland. There has been a Christian church on this site for over 750 years, but its medieval history is obscure, The present parish church sits in a graveyard on raised ground above the shore and is sometimes called The Kirk by the Sea, It was built in 1774 to the West of the old parish church parts of which were incorporated into the new building. In the graveyard there are some eighteenth century and later nineteenth century headstones. Many of the gravestones have suffered from weathering due to their proximity to the sea.
