history |
Campbeltown (Lorne Street) Free Church originated at the Disruption, when a single Free Church congregation was formed. Campbeltown had been a collegiate charge, with an English and a Gaelic minister, both of whom came out. In 1867 the English charge became separate, as Lochend, from Lorne Street, the Gaelic charge. A new church was erected on the site of the old at the time of separation. Lorne Street passed to the United Free Church, but was then claimed by the Free Church in 1904 and only restored in 1907, causing a vacancy in the interim. The Church of Scotland charge, which was in the presbytery of Kintyre and the synod of Argyll, united with Campbeltown Lowland as Campbeltown Lorne and Lowland in 1990. |
