history |
In 1843, the year of the Disruption, a Free Church Association was formed in Kinghorn and regular service was provided from November of that year. A probationer was appointed to superintend the congregation in May 1844 and Kinghorn Free Church, which sat within the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was sanctioned in the following year. The church was erected in 1846. In 1900, upon the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland, Kinghorn Free Church was renamed Kinghorn Ladyburn United Free Church, and in 1918 a union was established with the former United Presbyterian charge of Kinghorn Rosslands, under the name of Kinghorn United Free Church. After the local union the Rosslands Church continued in use as the place of worship and the former Ladyburn church was sold. In 1929, following the union of the United Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland, Kinghorn United Free became Kinghorn Rosslands Church of Scotland and a further union followed in 1961 with the congregation of Kinghorn St Leonard's, under the name of Kinghorn Church of Scotland, and under the ministry of Rev J.A. Nisbit, minister at Kinghorn St Leonard's. The congregation of Kinghorn Church of Scotland sits within the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy. |
