Further references

  • Gifford, Fife, page 218. "... Very competent, but the grey stone's texture makes it unlovable. Standard mod-C19 Presbyterian rectangle, the bulk disgusied by gableted buttresses. Against the S gable, steeple with a lucarned spire, its profile a distinctive feature of the town seen from a distance. Impressive interior. ..."
