Title A name given to the resource Ferryport-on-Craig Parish Church / Tayport Old Parish Church / Tayport Auld Kirk Type The nature or genre of the resource Site Description An account of the resource Ferryport-on-Craig is the old name for Tayport – the name changed in the nineteenth century under influence from the railways. During the Middle Ages Ferryport-on-Craig was probably part of the parish of Leuchars. In 1606 James VI and I authorised the creation of a new parish at Ferryport-on-Craig and work began on the church. However, most of the structure that survives today dates from late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century rebuildings of the parish church. In the 1830s it was said that the parish church could accommodate between 800 and 900 people. Tayport Auld Kirk closed for regular worship in 1978 following amalgamation with the nearby Church of Scotland congregation on Queen Street. It remained empty for some time, before becoming used as an exibition and concert venue.
