Falkland Parish Church

As is often the case in history, towns crop up after the establishment or existence of a parish in the area, and this is the case of this Falkland area. The building that stands before us was built in 1850, but there are records that indicate that there was an earlier church here in 1595. However these documents make it clear that the first church was built entirely of stone, and say there was another church in the same place made of wood, with low walls and a foundation of clay or dough. Its construction or existence justifies the creation of the village known as Falkland (Fife region), which until 1300 was known as "Parish of Kilgour" next to the Lomond Hills.
