* Auld is the Scottish word for old.
* Kirk is the Scottish word for church.
The term is often used to refer to a historic church building, especially one that is important to the local community. It can also be used more broadly to refer to the Scottish Presbyterian Church itself, which is sometimes called "the Kirk".
Here are some examples of how "auld kirk" might be used:
* "We visited the auld kirk in the village, which dates back to the 15th century."
* "The auld kirk is a symbol of our community's history and faith."
* "The sermon at the auld kirk was very moving."
It's worth noting that "kirk" can also refer to a church building in other parts of the UK, but it's most commonly associated with Scotland.
