The Places of Worship in Scotland Project

This cruciform church was built between 1819 and 1821, adjacent to an earlier church (NO40SE 11 SCHR site 1232). It was designed by Richard Crichton and built by R and R Dickson. The church is situated on high ground in the centre of the village, overlooking Kilconquhar loch to the south. The graveyard, which is still in use, surrounds the church. The oldest stones are found around the old parish church to the east of the present church which it predates, and there are some interesting eighteenth century memorials towards the south east corner.
