history |
In 1843, at the time of the Disruption, David Horne, the minister of the Parish Church of Corstorphine, did not adhere to the Free Church but many of his parishioners did, and at the first meeting of the Free Presbytery of Edinburgh steps were taken to constitute a Free Church congregation in Corstorphine. Consequently Sunday Free Church services soon began, initially in Lind's Flour store and then in a tent, until the church of Corstorphine Free was erected in 1845. Following the union between the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland in 1900, Corstorphine Free Church became Corstorphine United Free Church and upon the 1929 union between the United Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland, Corstorphine United Free was renamed Corstorphine St Ninian's Church of Scotland. The congregation of Edinburgh Corstorphine St Ninian's Church of Scotland sits under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Edinburgh. |
