St Columba's Parish Church and The Parsonage
In 1601 in St Columba's there was a meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. King James VI was in attendance and at this meeting it was decided to pursue a new authorised bible, later know as the King James Bible.
The Parsonage with its stepped gables was built in 1854 by George Hay Forbes, an Episcopalian minister in the town. It was built as a school and a home. George Hay Forbes was a remarkable preacher, linguist and scholar

Burntisland Kirk
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
