history |
Kirkcaldy, Pathhead (Antiburgher) Church was formed at the Breach of 1747, when an existing congregation (later Kirkcaldy Bethelfield) split over the burgess oath. The dissentient minority met for 15 years in a barn, but then built a church, in 1763, much of the work being carried out without payment by tradesmen members of the congregation. The first minister was ordained in 1748. At the union of 1820 with the Burghers, a large minority, including the minister, broke away and eventually joined the Free Church as Kirkcaldy Dunnikier in 1852. The Free Church charge was in the presbytery of Kirkcaldy and the synod of Fife. |
