Newburgh Parish Records
- work in progress
In 1178 St Andrews Tironensian Abbey of Lindores was founded
in the district which was later to form the parish of Newburgh, and in
1622 Newburgh was erected into a separate charge with ratification made
by Parliament in 1633. The old parish church of Newburgh stood until
1832 when it was removed to make way for the present day building.
Following the 1929 union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free
Church, Newburgh became termed Newburgh St Katharine's and in 1953 a
union was established with the former United Free church congregation
of Newburgh St Andrew's, under the name of Newburgh. Newburgh later
established a link with Abdie and Dunbog in 1983. The kirk session
formerly sat within the Presbytery of Cupar and presently falls within
the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of St Andrews.
- Newburgh Associate Congregation:
The Newburgh Associate (Burgher) congregation, which sat
within the Presbytery of Cupar, commenced in 1785. There had been a
secession congregation here from 1740. The congregation suffered from
the commencement of a Relief Church congregation at Newburgh in 1841.
The charge became one of the United Presbyterian Church congregations
in 1847. Following the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the
Free Church of Scotland in 1900, the charge became Newburgh West United
Free Church, and was united with Newburgh East UF Church in 1903.
