history |
The congregation of Saline Free Church, which sat within the Presbytery of Dunfermline, was established in 1843 at the time of the Disruption and at the request of the Free Church adherents living in the district. The church of Saline Free was erected in the following year and the manse was built in 1845. In 1900, at the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterians, Saline Free Church became Saline United Free and in 1913 a mission hall was opened at Lower Steelend. The mission congregation was later incorporated with Saline in 1917. Following the 1929 union of the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, Saline United Free was renamed Saline North and in 1935 Saline North was joined with the congregation of Saline South, under the name of Saline. After the local union the former North church was sold. |
