Dairsie Old Church, Category A listed church in Dairsie, Scotland

Located 1.2 kilometers south of Dairsie village, this stone church features Gothic architectural elements with a distinctive piend roof and carved family crests.

The church, constructed in 1621 by Archbishop John Spottiswoode, stands on a religious site that dates back to 1183 when it belonged to St Andrews Convent.

The structure represents an exceptional example of post-Reformation Gothic architecture in Scotland, displaying architectural techniques from the early 17th century.

The building ceased religious activities in 1966 when the congregation moved to the Free Church in Dairsie village, but remains open for architectural study.

The west door of the church displays carved initials and the Spottiswoode family crest, marking the connection to its founding archbishop.
