Old Kirk of Kirkcaldy

The Old Kirk of Kirkcaldy is a former parish church in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. The church's Norman tower is the oldest building in continuous use in the town.

In 2011, after the Church of Scotland finalised Presbytery Plans to sell off 400 churches across Scotland, it was acquired by the Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust, who are committed to preserving it for use as a community resource, concert space, heritage centre and for continuing worship.

The kirk is open to the public for visits during the summer months, and regularly features live music, performances and events for the community. The kirk contains an organ installed in 1885 by August Gern, which is still in use for recitals. The kirk also features an interactive visual display, created by a team from St. Andrew's University School of Computer Science which shows the church building and town as they would have appeared in the 16th century.
