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. It includes the small hamlet of Barnyards.[3] It is bounded by the parishes of Elie, Ceres, Cameron, St Monans, Carnbee, Newburn and Largo.[4]
It is approximately 9 miles from north to south. Much of the land is agricultural or wooded. The village itself is situated inland, north of Kilconquhar Loch. Also in the civil parish are Colinsburgh and Largoward,[5] the latter since 1860 being a separate ecclesiastical parish.[6]
The coastal village and royal burgh of Earlsferry was formerly in the parish, but in 1891 the burgh and that part of the parish south of the (now disused) Fife Coast Railway line and Cocklemill Burn was transferred to the parish of Elie.[7]
