Markinch kirk session
A church court that sat within the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of Fife. The church of Markinch was established in the 6th century and was dedicated to St Drostan, but on 19 July 1243, Bishop David de Bernham re-dedicated the Church to St John the Baptist. The church belonged to the priory of St Andrews. Ministry is recorded from 1564. The parishes of Markinch and Kirkforthar were united in 1641.Records available
