Title
Tayport Parish Church / Tayport Free Church
Description
Tayport Parish Church on Queen Street was built in the 1840s for a Free Church congregation. It has an impressive Victorian Gothic frontage. Following the union of the United Free Church with the established church in 1929, the congregation became part of the Church of Scotland. In 1978 the congregation of Tayport Auld Kirk and the church on Queen Street amalgamated. The former Free Church site on Queen Street became the parish church for Tayport. In the twenty-first century Tayport Parish Church united with St Athernase Church in Leuchars. As of 2023, it is still an active place of worship.
