Title

TAYPORT AULD KIRK

Description

This has been a religious site since 1607 but the present structure dates from 1794. It is a distinctive local landmark, particularly because of its leaning tower. The church contains a Miller pipe organ installed in 1899. Auld Kirk is developing as an Arts and Heritage Centre, whilst retaining historic features. The surrounding graveyard has interesting slabs which reflect Tayport’s history, maritime connections and the family grave of renowned local artist Cynicus.
