history |
The church of Kinghorn was dedicated to St Serf and was granted to Holyrood Abbey by King William the Lion between 1165 and 1177. Ministry of the parish is recorded from 1562. The present parish church was built in 1774 and renovated in 1894. There was also a quoad sacra church built within the parish in the village of Invertiel, or Westbridge. Following 1929, when the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church were joined together, Kinghorn parish church, which had become known as Kinghorn St Leonard's, was united with the former United Free Church congregation of Kinghorn Rosslands in 1961. After the union the kirk session reverted back to the name of Kinghorn. The kirk session sits within the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy. |
