Abstract: Dairsie Old Parish Church is a fascinating building with an interesting and lengthy history. The structure we see today was the creation of Archbishop John Spottiswoode of St Andrews and dates to the early 17th century. Once an impressive and important ecclesiastical building, witness to the theological debates after the Scottish Reformation, it has in recent years become redundant and largely forgotten, an empty shell with only distant memories of its former glory. It shares the problem of redundancy, of course, with many other church buildings, both in Scotland and elsewhere. With a new use apparently found for the church, is there light at the end of the tunnel?
