Archive Network
(SCAN).
- Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Session, Kirkcaldy St Bryce Kirk:
The parish church of Kirkcaldy was dedicated to St Bryce and
formerly belonged to the Abbey of Dunfermline. Ministry of the session,
which was previously known as St Bryce, is recorded from 1560 in the
person of George Scott. The church was enlarged and repaired in 1643
and was later rebuilt in 1807. The kirk session, which is presently
called Kirkcaldy: St Bryce Kirk, sits within the Presbytery of
Kirkcaldy.
- Dunnikier Free Church, United Free:
Dunnikier Free Church began as Kirkcaldy Pathhead
(Antiburgher) Church. After the union with the Burghers in 1820 a
minority stood out and eventually joined the FC in 1852, as Kirkcaldy
Dunnikier. The congregation passed successively to the United Free
Church and the Church of Scotland, and united with Kirkcaldy Victoria
Road as Kirkcaldy St Andrew's in 1972. The Church of Scotland charge
was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of Fife.
Mission services first took place at Kirkcaldy Raith
in 1875 when a church was purchased at Linktown and the parish of Raith
was later disjoined from Abbotshall in 1884. In 1964 Kirkcaldy Raith
was united once more with Kirkcaldy Abbotshall under the name of
Kirkcaldy Abbotshall and under the ministry of Rev M.W. Cooper. The
Kirk Session of Kirkcaldy Raith sat within the jurisdiction of the
Presbytery of Kirkcaldy throughout its existence.
- St James's Church (Cowan Street, Port Brae):
The parish of Kirkcaldy St James's, (formerly Cowan
Street or Port Brae) was disjoined from Kirkcaldy and erected as a
separate charge, quoad sacra, on the 24th June 1872. The congregation
of Kirkcaldy St James's Kirk Session, which sat within the jurisdiction
of the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was dissolved in 1974.
- Pathhead Church (Pathhead East):
Kirkcaldy Pathhead was erected as an independent
parish on the 16th March 1859 when it was disjoined from Dysart. In
1943, following the union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free
Church in 1929, Kirkcaldy Pathhead Parish Church (also known as
Kirkcaldy Pathhead East) was united with the former United Free Church
congregation of Kirkcaldy Pathhead West. The two sessions united under
the name of Kirkcaldy Pathhead and under the ministry of Rev K.B.
Citron, minister at Kirkcaldy Pathhead West. The kirk session has
fallen within the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy
throughout its existence.
- Pathhead Antiburgher Church, Associate
Session (Linktoun), United Presbyterian:
Pathhead (Antiburgher) Church was formed
at the Breach of 1747, when an existing congregation (later Kirkcaldy
Bethelfield) split over the burgess oath. The dissentient minority met
for 15 years in a barn, but then built a church, in 1763, much of the
work being carried out without payment by tradesmen members of the
congregation. The first minister was ordained in 1748. At the union of
1820 with the Burghers, a large minority, including the minister, broke
away and eventually joined the Free Church as Kirkcaldy Dunnikier in
1852. The FC charge was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of
Fife.
The parish of Kirkcaldy Sinclairtown was disjoined
from that of Dysart on the 9th February 1912; a chapel had been erected
here a number of years prior in 1878. In 1977 Kirkcaldy Sinclairtown
united with the charge of Kirkcaldy Gallatown, under the name of
Kirkcaldy Viewforth, and a link was later established in 1995 with the
session of Thornton. The kirk session has sat within the Presbytery of
Kirkcaldy throughout its existence.
The Kirk Session of Kirkcaldy Templehall first began
as an extension charge within the expanding district of Templehall, and
in order to provide a premises for the charge, in 1952 Cleish Gardens
Hall was opened and dedicated. Kirkcaldy Templehall, which sits within
the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was later granted full status by the
Church of Scotland and the charge is at present sitting as a vacancy.
- Victoria Road United Presbyterian Church
Kirkcaldy, Victoria Road United Presbyterian Church
began as a church extension church in 1885, with a minister ordained in
the following year. The congregation, which was also formed in 1886,
worshipped in a former established church building. It passed
successively to the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, and
united with Kirkcaldy Dunnikier as Kirkcaldy St Andrew's in 1972. The
Church of Scotland charge was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the
synod of Fife.
- Kirkcaldy United Original Secession Church
-
- Kirkcaldy
Second Associate Congregation (later Union United Presbyterian and
United Free Church)
Kirkcaldy Second Associate Congregation, which was
also known as the Union U.P. congregation, was established in 1821
following a petition presented to the United Secession Presbytery of
Dunfermline, requesting that sermon be provided. The Rev. John More of
Cairneyhill first preached to the session in July of that year and a
church was built in 1822. The first minister of Kirkcaldy Union U.P.
was ordained on the 5th April 1826. During the year 1837 it is recorded
that, of the members of the congregation, one third were resident
within the parish of Kirkcaldy, one third resided within Dysart parish
and the remainder were from Abbotshall, Kinghorn and Wemyss. In 1900,
upon the union of the United Presbyterians and the Free Church, the
charge of Kirkcaldy Second Associate Congregation became Kirkcaldy
Union United Free Church however the congregation, which sat within the
Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was dissolved a number of years thereafter in
1928.
- Kirkcaldy, Bethelfield (burgher) united associate
congregation, later United Presbyterian, United Free and Church of
Scotland
Kirkcaldy, Bethelfield (Burgher) United Associate
Congregation originated with a group of Seceders in the town, who from
1740 had a minister serving a congregation in Abbotshall and Kirkcaldy.
Abbotshall later separated. Kirkcaldy passed to the United Presbyterian
Church, as Kirkcaldy Bethelfield, and then to the United Free Church
and the Church of Scotland. In 1991 Kirkcaldy Linktown was formed by
the union of Kirkcaldy Bethelfield and Kirkcaldy Invertiel. The Church
of Scotland charge was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of
Fife.
- Pathhead Free, United Free, Church of Scotland (Pathhead
West):
Kirkcaldy, Pathhead Free Church originated at the
Disruption, when the minister and congregation adhered to the Free
Church. A new church building opened in 1844. It passed successively to
the United Free Church, with the congregation being evicted from the
buildings for a time from 1904-1906, and to the Church of Scotland, in
the latter case as Kirkcaldy Pathhead West. Kirkcaldy Pathhead East and
West united as Kirkcaldy Pathhead in 1958. The Church of Scotland
charge was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of Fife.
- Loughborough Road United Presbyterian Church, United Free
and Church of Scotland
In 1876 Kirkcaldy United Presbyterian Church
considered a Church Extension in Kirkcaldy. A new church was erected in
Loughborough Road, Kirkcaldy, in 1878. The first minister, John C.
Baxter, was inducted in 1879. A new church was opened in 1881.
Following the union in 1900 of the United Presbyterian Church and the
Free Church, the charge became Kirkcaldy, Loughborough Road, United
Free Church. The first minister was Edward Marr (b 1863) who was
inducted in 1900. In 1929 the church rejoined the Church of Scotland.
In 1953 the buildings were renovated. The congregation was dissolved in
1969.
- Gallatown Free Church, United Free and Church of Scotland:
In 1857, in response to a request from Gallatown
Mission Committee, a Free Church station was established within the
district of Kirkcaldy Gallatown , which was later sanctioned in 1875. A
church was erected to house the congregation in 1861-1862 and prior to
1875 services were conducted by probationers under the Home Mission
Committee. A new church was later erected in 1883 and the old building
was converted for use as a hall. In 1900, upon the union of the Free
Church and the United Presbyterians, Kirkcaldy Gallatown became
Kirkcaldy Gallatown United Free Church, and following the 1929 union
between the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, Kirkcaldy
Gallatown U.F. became Kirkcaldy Gallatown Church of Scotland. In 1977
Kirkcaldy Gallatown established a union with the congregation of
Kirkcaldy Sinclairtown, under the name of Kirkcaldy Viewforth, and the
united session was linked in 1995 with Thornton. The congregation of
Kirkcaldy Viewforth remains active today.
In 1836 there was a mission chapel built at
Invertiel
and the parish of Kirkcaldy Invertiel was later erected in 1869 when it
was disjoined from Kinghorn and Abbotshall. In 1952, Kirkcaldy
Invertiel established a union with the former United Free Church
congregation of Kirkcaldy Invertiel North. The united charge continued
under the name of Kirkcaldy Invertiel and the old Invertiel Parish
Church was sold in 1954 to a coachbuilder. A further union followed in
1991 between Kirkcaldy Invertiel and Kirkcaldy Bethelfield to form the
session of Kirkcaldy Linktown and the united session was additionally
linked with Auchtertool during the same year. Kirkcaldy Invertiel Kirk
Session sat within the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy.
- Invertiel Free Church Kirk Session, United Free, Invertiel
North Church of Scotland
Invertiel Free Church began as a Church of Scotland
Church Extension charge whose congregation adhered to the Free Church
and were able to retain the building until 1856. A new church was built
thereafter. It passed successively to the United Free Church, as
Kirkcaldy Invertiel North, and to the Church of Scotland. Invertiel
North united with Kirkcaldy Invertiel under that name in 1952.
Kirkcaldy Linktown was formed in 1991 by the union of Kirkcaldy
Bethelfield and Kirkcaldy Invertiel. The Church of Scotland charges
were in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of Fife.
- West End Congregational Church, Kirkcaldy
The West End Congregational Church, Kircaldy, was
established in the former Cowan Street Chapel in 1873. They removed to
the newly erected church in the High Street in April 1874 and are still
active.
