Falkland Futures Trust

25/09/2026

We are saddened to report that we have learned that we have been unsuccessful in our bid to buy the Falkland Church for future community use. We are very disappointed as we wholeheartedly believed that having the church building owned and operated by the community, for the community, would have been the most fitting outcome for a building that was originally built and donated to the community back in 1851.

However, the newly formed Falkland Futures Trust will live on, and we will look at other projects in and around the village. Our fundraising will continue, and we will work with other local groups and partners to ensure that Falkland remains a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

Community ownership is possible. We’ll be asking the church for the same opportunity that was given to the people of Brechin.

The historic church in Falkland, Fife is being sold by the Church of Scotland. The Church was famously part of the backdrop as ‘Inverness’ in Outlander. Help us preserve this building for future generations. We’ve launched a community buyout to keep the building in community hands, and see the building take on a range of new uses.

Our church is up for sale. It’s sooner than we would like, but we’re continuing our bid for community ownership. We do need your support though. Please consider giving to our Go Fund Me page. # Outlander

We have a stall this Saturday at the Summer Festival in Falkland. Visit us and join Falkland Futures. As a member, you can decide what we could use the auld Kirk building for once under community ownership.

Another good reason why our community must pull together to save our own Kirk building when it is put up for sale by the church. With new community uses, the building can be maintained and preserved.

Another thank you. Our local Community Council tonight confirmed their continued support and desire to see the Falkland Church building stay in community control.
