St. Columba's is the oldest pre-Reformation kirk still in use; the form of the present building dating from 1592. In 1601, it was chosen as the venue of the General Assembly, held in the presence of King James VI, at which the need for a new translation of the Bible was suggested. The idea materialised some time later in James' reign when the Authorised Version, known as the 'King James Bible' was printed in England in 1611. http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/burntisland/parishchurch/index.html
