Tour Scotland Travel Video Parish Church And Graveyard Kinglassie Fife

Tour Scotland travel video of the Parish Church and graveyard on ancestry visit to Kinglassie, Fife, Scotland. The present church in Kinglassie dates back to 1773 when it was in a ruinous condition. Renovations were completed in 1773. There was a church on the site from 1126 to 1159 when the land was confirmed to Dunfermline Abbey by Robert Bishop of St Andrews. We also know that in 1226 Pope Honorus 111 granted the church to the use of the monks with provision for a suitable vicar, or minister. The bell and bell house were purchased in 23rd May 1652. In April 1888 Alexander Mitchell of Redwells Farm offered an organ to the church. This was an American organ costing £124. This organ lasted 77 years when it was replaced by a Compton electronic organ in 1965.
