Auld Kirk, Tayport
East Fife
A religious site since 1607, the Auld Kirk’s present structure dates from 1794. It is one of the oldest buildings in Tayport and an important landmark.
The impressive John Miller organ was built and installed in 1899 in a newly created bay. The Auld Kirk is developing as an Arts, Music and Heritage Centre, retaining the building’s historic features. The surrounding graveyard has many interesting slabs reflecting Tayport’s maritime history and also the family grave of renowned local artist and cartoonist Martin Anderson, better known by his pseudonym Cynicus.
Display of maps, photographs, Tayport Heritage Trail boards, and film footage of Tayport’s history, including the Millennium carol concert in the Auld Kirk.
