Kirkcaldy Old Kirk is inviting Fife residents to visit this weekend as part of this year's Doors Open Days.

Recognised as the oldest building still in use in Fife, the Old Kirk opens to visitors from 10am to 4pm on Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12, and 1pm to 4pm on Sunday, September 13. Admission is free.

Visitors can learn about the church and Kirkcaldy's past through exhibitions, experience virtual reality via an interactive digital display, and take in the stained glass windows by Burne-Jones, William Morris, John Clark and Crear McCartney.

Visitors can climb the 15th-century tower for panoramic views over Kirkcaldy and trace the history of the area, or ring a bell first cast in 1553, heard by Adam Smith at his baptism in 1723. Tower tours run in person every hour, on the half hour.

For those unable to climb the tower stairs, a digital exhibition offers a virtual walk through the Kirk as it would have appeared in 1500.

Visitors can join a guided graveyard tour, "Stories from Stones," and watch a live re-enactment of Scotland's last fatal duel, fought 200 years ago and listen to the story of the two men who were willing to fight to the death.

A tour of "Adam Smith's Kirkcaldy," guided by George Proudfoot, will leave Old Kirk at 1pm for the town centre.

Kirkcaldy Civic Society will also be taking part in Doors Open Day 2026, welcoming visitors to the 16th-century Merchant's House in Law's Close on Sunday, September 13, from 11am to 3pm.

Visitors can wander the gardens, view one of the last remaining "riggs", plots from the old medieval burgh, and see the restored decor and upstairs painting, recently taken into ownership by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust.

BBC presenter Iain Stewart, dubbed geology's "rock star" and a Research Chair in Sustainability at the Royal Scientific Society in Jordan, will give a talk at the Old Kirk on Monday, September 14, titled "Desert Stories Mapping Jordan's Geoheritage."

The talk begins at 7.30pm and explores how Jordan's landscapes reveal an exceptional geoheritage, where geology, culture, and history intertwine. Tickets are £15 at the door.
