history |
The minister at Glenorchy 'came out' with the majority of his congregation at the Disruption of 1843 to form Glenorchy Free Church. Initially the congregation worshipped in a temporary wooden church, kindly erected by Lord Breadalbane, until a church and manse was built. In 1900 most Free congregations united with the United Presbyterian Church to form the United Free Church of Scotland. Glenorchy followed suit and became Glenorchy United Free Church, although the church building and manse were allocated to the existing Free Church, and so the congregation worshipped in the schoolhouse until a new church was opened in 1908. The United Free charge passed back to Established Church in 1929 and took the name Glenorchy South Church of Scotland to differentiate it from the existing Church of Scotland congregation in Glenorchy. A union with Glenorchy and Inishail Church of Scotland took place in 1931; the united charge keeping the same name of Glenorchy and Inishail Church of Scotland. |
