12th Century Church Reconstruction Video - This short talk given last year by our own very knowledgeable local researcher Bruce Manson at TAFAC in 2016 gives insight into the importance of Markinch church. It is not surprising that Markinch was on the medieval pilgrim route between Dunfermline and St Andrews and is firmly part of the new Fife Pilgrim Way. Since the talk research has moved forward on the project, with new material and new interpretations emerging. The more recent history of the church is being better understood through documentary analysis, particularly the Session and Heritors' records. Markinch Heritage Group is establishing a fund for future archeological work on the church and fresh finds are expected to modify our existing understanding of this remarkable building.
