REBUILDING Dunfermline Abbey Church will be child's play as tourists are invited to use lego to re-imagine the historic building.

As part of a project to raise funds for the church, visitors of any age can pay £1 to add nine tiles to the lego mosaic that has been designed from a photo from church member, Keith Rennie.

The mosaic has been organised by Matt Baines, the church Children's, Youth and Families worker.

He said: "We wanted to raise funds in a way that not only appeals to people of all ages, as so many people love lego, but also gives them an opportunity to create something that will last for years to come."

While the money raised will go towards the general funds of the church, the main aim for this project is to build a sense of community participation in the Abbey.

He added: "We want participants to be able to point to the finished mosaic and say, ‘I helped build that church!'"

A team of volunteers have been helping Matt by guiding the visitors to the Abbey through this process. He has also been offering free lego drop-ins over the Fife school summer holidays as part of a free scheme in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland Abbey Nave & Palace, Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries and the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum.

To participate in the mosaic project and let kids utilise their lego skills from the workshops, head along to the Abbey on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday afternoon between 1-4.30pm.
