"Burntisland Old Parish Church is an extraordinarily important and genuinely unique historical building. As well as being the location where King James VI first approved the idea of a new Bible translation - an idea of global significance - the building is without parallel in Scotland as a distinctive and early architectural expression of Reformation ideals."
Dr John MacCallum, Lecturer in Early Modern Scottish History at the University of Edinburgh
"The King James Version of the Bible has driven the making of the English-speaking world for over 400 years. That earth-changing story begins in Burntisland Church in 1601."
