Tour Scotland Photograph Parish Church Kingsbarns Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the Church in Kingsbarns, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish Church was built around 1630, receiving substantial alterations between 1810 and 1811 at the hand of Robert Balfour. The church faces south towards The Square, the central focus of the village of Kingsbarns. It is located within a graveyard cemetery, which is surrounded by a substantial coped wall. The church itself is built on a T plan with a south tower and west porch. The body of the church is harled with a Scottish slate roof. The harling is degrading on all faces of the building, revealing rough courses of squared sandstone and some interesting rough snecking on the north elevation of the main cell. The tower is built from ashlar and is capped by a spire with alternating bands of square and fishscale slate.
