Kennoway sits a few miles inland from the Firth of Forth, north of Leven, and for a village best known today as a quiet dormitory settlement, its parish church holds a genuinely rare claim: Scotland's oldest Communion Cup.
A name recorded in 1160, a route to St Andrews
Kennoway's name was first recorded as Kennachin in 1160, and its Gaelic origins remain uncertain even now. For centuries the village sat on a stage coaching road that ran from the ferry at Pettycur, through Ceres, and on to St Andrews — a route that shaped its early trade and growth. The land once belonged to the Priory of St Andrews, and Kennoway's pre-Reformation church was dedicated to St Kenneth, a connection marked today by the Fife Pilgrim Way's Causeway section, added in 2019.
Weaving, malting, and a rare Communion Cup
Kennoway grew through malting, brewing and weaving, with the 19th-century turnpike road and expanding shoemaking trade bringing renewed growth to the village. Its present parish church, built in 1850, holds the oldest Communion Cup in Scotland, dated 1671. The village was designated a conservation area in 1977, and nearby landmarks include the Pictish motte of Maiden Castle and the sandstone cliffs of Kennoway Den.
