About St James' Catholic Church
St James' Catholic Church serves a Roman Catholic parish in the Fife town of St Andrews. Its address is 17 The Scores, close to the coast. The church continues to function as a place of worship and is listed at Category B. In the summer of 2024, the parish priest was Monsignor Patrick Burke, who additionally served in an honorary capacity as Catholic chaplain for the University of St Andrews.
Architect Reginald Fairlie created the plans for the present church, which dates from 1910. This relatively modest building succeeded an earlier church constructed from metal, commonly described as the parish’s “tin” church. Its protected designation reflects the architectural and historical significance of the surviving twentieth-century building.
