Title
United Secession Church, Castle Street, Tayport
Description
There was formerly a United Presbyterian Church on Castle Street. The church building is clearly marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey map of Fife. The New Statistical Account (compiled in the 1830s) remarks on the presence of “a small dissenting meeting-house…in connection with the United Secession”. In the early nineteenth century the congregation had on average about 50 members. It has not been possible to ascertain the date at which the church closed.
