St Fillan's Church, Aberdour
West Fife
In 2023 St Fillan’s celebrated its 900th Anniversary, dating from 1123 it is most probably the oldest active church in Scotland.
St Fillan's church is one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Scotland with the nave and chancel dating from 1123. This ‘miniature Cathedral’ sits in its own graveyard with views over the Forth to Edinburgh. The nave and chancel date from 1123. It was enlarged in the 15th century with the addition of a side aisle, and in the 17th by the small transeptal aisle. The church fell into disrepair in the 18th century and was restored in 1926.
This year we celebrate 100 years of St Fillan’s re-opening and will have a display that will reflect this. There will also be a display of the Church Silver.
There will be information available about the history of the church and informal guided tours will take place throughout the day with a guide book available to purchase.
Parking is available close by at the station car park.
