Anstruther Wester belonged to the Priory of Pittenweem and its church, dedicated to St Nicolas, was the parish church of the monastery. In 1177, the stipend attached to it was ten merks. A tablet on the wall bore the name of Friar Haldane, who ministered there in the middle of the 15th century. It is mentioned on occasion of the visits of King James IV to the Isle of May.
