[Quotation] Ecclesiastical State. "The church is situated in a most beautiful and sequestered spot, but being at the south east extremity of the parish it is very inconvenient for the population in general and particularly for those resident in the villages along the banks of the Tay from whom it is distant from three to four miles. The date of its erection is not known. It formed one of the Priory Kirks belonging to St. Andrews and was built according to tradition in its present site for the special accommodation of a wealthy Lady resident in the adjoining mansion house of Kirkton who contributed largely to its erection. It received a thorough repair in 1770 and was seated at the commencement of the present century etc" New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife p.515.

[Quotation]
" The noted St. Fillan whose name has been given to so many chapels, Fountains etc. in Scotland and who is still held in superstitious reverence in great part of the Highlands was Abbot of Pittenweem from which situation he retired and died a hermit in the wilds of Glenorchy A.D. 649 while engaged in transcribing the scriptures his left hand was observed to send forth such a splendour as to afford light to that with which he wrote, a miracle which saved many candles of the convent as St Fillan used to spend whole nights in that exercise. Lesley, Lib 7. tells us that Robert the Bruce was possessed of this miraculous and luminous arm which he inclosed in a silver shrine and had it carried at the head of his army. Previous to the battle of Bannockburn the kings chaplain a man of little faith abstracted the relic and deposited it in some place of security lest it should fall into the hands of the English. But lo! while Robert was addressing his prayers to the empty casket it was observed to open and shut suddenly and on inspection the Saint was found to have himself deposited his arm in the shrine as an assurance of victory, such is the tale of Lesley.etc etc. Sibbald's Hist. [History] of Fife pp 336.337. " "Note the above quotation refers to page 23" |

The date of its erection is not known.

It received a thorough repair in 1770 and was seated at the commencement of the present century. It is seated for about 350 so that the extent of the church accommodation is greatly under what is required for the population during the last year the heritors have contemplated the erection of a new church in a more central situation. And although some difficulty has been experienced in determining the site that would prove most advantageous for the parishioners it is to be hoped that this inestimable boon will not be long withheld as it is at present impossible for the aged, the infirm and the young to enjoy the benefits of religious instruction in the parish church:- Stat.

[Note] "This parish was also anciently called St. Phillans from the church having been dedicated to that Saint" Leightons Hist. [History] of Fife.

[Note] This parish is named Forgan or St. Phillans." (New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife page 505.)
[Note - Brown] From all the written accounts it appears that the old parish church was dedicated to St. Fillans and also that the name in ancient times was applied to the parish. The spelling St. Fillans appears to be the proper mode of spelling as it is spelled so in all the accounts of the saints life also in the writings of Sir Walter Scott and also in the Old Stat. Acct.
