Scope and Content Roof-structure, St David's, Fitzroy Street, Dysart, Fife St David's was built in the 16th century and heightened in around 1680. This picture was taken in 1980 during restoration and shows the apex of the original roof structure beneath the pantiles. The rafters are joined by wooden-pegged mortice and tenon joints. Dysart, a pre-existing settlement on the outskirts of Kirkcaldy, became a burgh of barony in 1510 and a royal burgh in 1533. Originally a salt-making centre, it grew into a thriving port for exporting coal and fish. It declined from the 18th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
