New Aberdour Kirk

Like the old kirk down near the shore that it replaced, the New Aberdour Parish Kirk is dedicated to St Drostan. It was build in 1818 and renovated in 1885. See https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/apex/f?p=1505:300:::::VIEWTYPE,VIEWREF:designation,LB2772 for more information. We happened on it after several unsuccessful attempts elsewhere to find a cup of coffee, and were delighted to find that there was actually a coffee morning in progress, to which we were made very welcome. Sadly, the kirk is now surplus to ecclesiastical requirements, and its future is uncertain.
