Kilconquhar

Kilconquhar (/kɪˈnjʌxər/ ⓘ kih-NYUKH-ər or /kɪlˈkɒŋkər/ ⓘ; Scots: also Kinneuchar, from the Scottish Gaelic: Cill Dhúnchadha or Scottish Gaelic: Cill Chonchaidh, Church of (St) Duncan or Conchad)[1][2] is a village and parish in Fife in Scotland.

[3] It is bounded by the parishes of Elie, Ceres, Cameron, St Monans, Carnbee, Newburn and Largo.

[8][9] There was another castle in the parish called Rires or Reres, belonging to the Forbes family.

Margaret Beaton, Lady Reres, was a companion of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her husband Arthur Forbes was involved in the assassination of John Wood.

[citation needed] The situation of the medieval parish church, on a mound near a loch, is a typical one for early sites.

It contains several fine stained glass windows including "The Acts of Charity" by Ward and Hughes installed in 1867 and four biblical warriors installed in the 1920s by Mrs Andrew Grant in memory of her four nephews lost in World War I.

In 1200 Duncan, Earl of Fife bestowed revenues from this church to the Cistercian nunnery in North Berwick.
