history |
In 1857, in response to a request from Gallatown Mission Committee, a Free Church station was established within the district of Kirkcaldy Gallatown , which was later sanctioned in 1875. A church was erected to house the congregation in 1861-1862 and prior to 1875 services were conducted by probationers under the Home Mission Committee. A new church was later erected in 1883 and the old building was converted for use as a hall. In 1900, upon the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterians, Kirkcaldy Gallatown became Kirkcaldy Gallatown United Free Church, and following the 1929 union between the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, Kirkcaldy Gallatown United Free became Kirkcaldy Gallatown Church of Scotland. In 1977 Kirkcaldy Gallatown established a union with the congregation of Kirkcaldy Sinclairtown, under the name of Kirkcaldy Viewforth, and the united session was linked in 1995 with Thornton. |
