Scotland's only Coptic Orthodox church serves a congregation made up of more than eight nationalities from all over Scotland. 

In converting Invertiel Parish Church in 1994, wonderful hand painted icons from Egypt were inserted in a beautiful iconstasis (icon wall) which now dominates the interior of the church. 

The Church will be open all afternoon with special guided tours at 1.00 and 3.00.

This natural chambered cave in the grounds of the Carmelite Monastery is said to have been used by St Serf, or Servanus, as a retreat from the world in the 6th century. Here “he was victorious in his battle with the De’il” - likened to Jesus’ 40-day sojourn in the desert, thereby perhaps providing Dysart with its name. With seats carved in its three “rooms” and romantic stone entrances added, the place exudes ancient peaceful charm.

Beautiful village restored under the 1999 Fife Historic Buildings Scheme. Many 18th and 19th century buildings were brought back into use thereby revitalising the village.
Includes new memorial to 1941 bomb disaster when 5 men were killed.

Meet outside St Adrian's Church at the east end of the village.
