It has overlooked the busy High Street from its vantage point on the little hill above the once-bustling harbour for decades and many Langtonians at home and in far-flung places have ancestors in its historic graveyard. It has overlooked the busy High Street from its vantage point on the little hill above the once-bustling harbour for decades and many Langtonians at home and in far-flung places have ancestors in its historic graveyard.

Those who eagerly climb the 100 steps to look out over the parapet to Edinburgh and down the Forth estuary to sea, are treading in the footsteps of historic figures like Rev. George Gillespie, 400-year old author of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and Adam Smith, baptised in the Old Kirk and living within sight of the tower to write his famous “wealth of Nations”.

Now its leaky roof and windows need some tender loving care, and the small volunteer group who formed the charity, Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust, and purchased the Kirk 7 years ago to maintain it for the community, are planning to give it just that.

For that we need your help!

For the complete restoration we need to raise £500,000 and will be approaching major funders to achieve this.

Within our reach if we can raise £15,000 are three projects that will enable us to make a real difference:

1. repair the renovate  the lower windows at a cost of £7,300
2. repair the ancient tower clock mechanism with specialist repairs of £6,292.
3. Refurbish the 3 main doors for £1,500.

If we can get these three projects underway it will make a real difference to Kirkcaldy Old Kirk’s iconic 15th century tower.
