history |
Burntisland Free Church, Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was established at the Disruption in 1843. Until a church was opened in 1846 the congregation worshipped outside or in a temporary accommodation.The congregation continued as a mission until 1854. In 1857 a school and teachers' house were built at East Wemyss. After the union in 1900 of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church, the congregation became Burntisland Couper United Free Church. In 1900 following the union of the United Free Church with the Church of Scotland, the church became Burntisland Church of Scotland. In 1930 the pro-union part of Erskine Church united with this charge and the name was changed to Burntisland St Andrews Church of Scotland. In 1969 the charge was linked with Auchtertool Church. In 1977 Burntisland St Andrew's united with Burntisland St Columba's as Burntisland Church of Scotland. The united charge was linked with Auchtertool until 1987. |
