history |
Stirling St Andrew's, also known as Iron Church, was originally a Free Church congregation which worshipped in Marykirk, St Mary's Wynd, Stirling. It was a territorial mission of the North Free Church but Christian MacLagan, who had gifted the chapel to the church, repossessed it after a disagreement and gave it to the Church of Scotland in c 1878. From this point the congregation, which had removed to Cowane Street, was known as the West Free Church. The building in which they met was a corrugated iron structure which became known as Iron Church, it was later destroyed by fire and replaced with a stone building in 1882. On the union of the Free Church with the United Presbyterians the congregation became part of the United Free Church and it followed the United Free Church into the union with the Church of Scotland becoming in 1929 St Andrew's Church. The building closed and the congregation dissolved in 1967. |
