The Parish Church (CoS) on Durie Street. Another view. Carlow Hall (the church hall) looks as if it had a previous existence as a church, with at least two phases of building. Another church building - Scoonie Lesser hall - may also have been a church. Can you confirm any of these speculations? All © Jim Parker (2009). Douglas McMann has advised that Carlow Hall, which opened in 1925, was built by Charles Augustus Carlow for his father Charles, Chairman of the Fife Coal Company. At the time it was associated with St. John (now St. Peter, see below), and in 1941 ownership of the church and manse passed to Trustees of the Church of Scotland, but the hall remained in trust to the minister and session clerk of St. John's. In 1975 St. John united with the Forman Church to become St. Andrew (see below). Link.
