history |
Kirkcaldy Second Associate Congregation, which was also known as the Union United Presbyterian congregation, was established in 1821 following a petition presented to the United Secession Presbytery of Dunfermline, requesting that sermon be provided. The Rev. John More of Cairneyhill first preached to the session in July of that year and a church was built in 1822. The first minister of Kirkcaldy Union United Presbyterian was ordained on the 5th April 1826. During the year 1837 it is recorded that, of the members of the congregation, one third were resident within the parish of Kirkcaldy, one third resided within Dysart parish and the remainder were from Abbotshall, Kinghorn and Wemyss. In 1900, upon the union of the United Presbyterians and the Free Church, the charge of Kirkcaldy Second Associate Congregation became Kirkcaldy Union United Free Church however the congregation, which sat within the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy, was dissolved a number of years thereafter in 1928. |
