[Quotation]
"Near the old castle, the grounds of which the present proprietor keeps in great order, is the parish church built by the Archbishop Spottiswood about 1615. In the life of Spottiswood, prefixed to his history of the Church, it is said "He, the Archbishop, built upon his own charges the Church of Dairsie, after the decent English form, which, if the boisterous hand of a mad reformation had not disordered, is at this time (1678) one of the beautifullest little pieces of Church work that is now left to that now unhappy country" The above is far from an overstretched account of this edifice, which originally had a flat roof with lead and most grotesque shaped windows in the Gothic style, and a belfry tower near it. Now it is modernised by a roof of the modern shape, and the steeple pointed as others." Stat: Acct: [Statistical Account] of Fifeshire Page 773.

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
