Standing on the oldest site of Christianity in the town, and the principal place of worship since 1244, the Old Kirk stands today as a symbol of Christian heritage in Kirkcaldy. The Kirk was closed as a place of worship by the Church of Scotland on 7th November 2010, and now belongs to the Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust, who maintain it for community use as a concert hall, community resource, heritage centre and for continuing worship. The churchyard contains graves of many of the notable traders and businessmen of the town.
