history |
In 1585 the parish of Innerwick in Glenlyon, which was termed of old Killinlynar, was united to Fortingall and Kilchoan, however it was proposed in 1639 by the General Assembly that the parish be once more disjoined. Some objections were raised at the time of the proposal to dissolve the union and consequently no steps were taken to do so until 1829, when Innerwick in Glenlyon was erected as a parliamentary charge. Subsequent to the establishment of the parliamentary charge the parish, termed Glenlyon, was disjoined from Fortingall and Weem in 1845. The congregation dropped Inerwick from their name in 1929 and later in the following year, united with the United Free Church mission in Glenlyon in 1930. Glenlyon was once more connected with Fortingall in 1953 when the two charges were linked together, and later united in 1980, under the name of Fortingall and Glenlyon. A link with Kenmore and Lawers was made in 1989. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Weem, later of Dunkeld and following the restructuring of the Presbyteries in 1976, it became part of the Presbytery of Dunkeld and Meigle. |
