history |
The original Parish church in Burntisland was first erected at the Kirkton in 1243, on land granted by King David. Prior to the reformation the church, which was dedicated to St Serf, belonged to the Abbey of Dunfermline. In 1592 a new and more substantial church was built in the town, and it was here in 1601, due to an outbreak of plague within Edinburgh, that the General Assembly met. In 1977, Burntisland Parish Church was united with the former United Free congregation of Burntisland St Andrew's. A link was formed with Auchtertool on the same date however this was later terminated in 1987. The kirk session sits within the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy. |
