3/8 of a Mile S[outh] E[ast] of Torryburn. | The Ruins of the Parish Church of Crombie. There is no record of the time when crombie was first erected into a Parish, the earliest notice on the subject is in a list of Parishes said to have been drawn in the reign of King W[illia]m the Lion, quoted in a recent publication from Sibbald's His[tory] of Fife. Crombie appears to have been dependant on the Abbey of Culross. In the "Book of the Universalle Kirk of Scotland" Torrie and Crombie are noticed as separate Parishes in year 1581 and 1586, and it is thought that the Union was effected towards the close of the same Century. The Church is surrounded by a Grave Yard, still in use, and being on an elevated position, it commands a fine View of the Firth of Forth and opposite Coast. |
