A confirmation to Holyrood Abbey in free alms of the church of Kinghorn (Estrikingorn) granted by the Bishop of St. Andrew occurs in the period 1165 -x 1178 (Barrow, 1971, 481). At the eastern end of the present modern parish church stand the ruins of an older church, possibly one dedicated by Bishop David de Bernham of St.• Andrews in 1243 (RCAM, 1933, 170). From its remains it was judged to be a building of some architectural merit' possessing a steeple, aisle, nave and choir (AR, 1906, 32). The present parish church, which was originally cruciform in style, underwent extensive refurbishing in 1894 (Richardson, n.d.,21).
