During the summer months, Kirkcaldy Old Kirk is open to visitors from near and far to walk round the church, admire the beauty of the fine stained glass windows - and climb the 15th century tower for panoramic views.

In the past fortnight, visitors from Switzerland, Austria, Moldova, the USA and Thailand have come through its doors, along with some Kirkcaldy folk, to see and hear a little of the Lang Toun’s proud history.
