This is a new venue for 2025.
Aberdour St Drostan’s Church dates to 1818 when it replaced a much earlier building down by the beach. It marks a history of Christian worship dating back to the 6th Century when St Drostan arrived at Aberdour Beach, bringing Christianity to the North East of Scotland.
Although still in use for Sunday worship, the building has been repurposed to accommodate a heritage display area and drop in café. These changes have been brought about by the recently formed ‘Friends of New Aberdour Church Pilgrimage and Heritage Initiative’
