It started with the annual May Day climb to the top of the Old Kirk’s 15th century tower when a small group of singers kept up the tradition which began 125 years ago singing Easter hymns to mark the start of the month.

May Morning also marked the start of open days at Kirkcaldy Old Kirk and guided tours up the tower, around the historic graveyard to hear "Stories From Stones" and "In the Footsteps of Adam Smith" - these will take place weekly until the summer. The times are :Old Kirk Open to visitors 11am - 3pm on Saturdays. View the magnificent range of stained glass windows, listen to the organ as you walk round and climb the tower for wonderful panoramic views - before it closes for restoration.
