Title
Our Lady Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church, Tayport
Description
The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea opened in 1939. The building was designed by the notable architect Reginald Fairlie – a comitted Catholic who had been born in Fife. Fairlie designed many significant buildings of the mid-twentieth century, including the National Library of Scotland. The statue of the Virgin which is located above the entrance to Our Lady Star of the Sea was made by Hew Lorimer – a friend and collaborator of Fairlie’s. Our Lady Star of the Sea is now linked with St Fillan’s Church in Newport-on-Tay. As of 2024, both churches remain places of worship.
