history |
The congregation of Kinross Free Church, which sat within the Free Presbytery of Kinross, was established in 1843 at the time of the Disruption and a new church and manse were erected. Following the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland in 1900, Kinross Free Church was renamed Kinross Chalmers United Free Church and in 1906 a union was established with the congregation of Kinross Erskine, to form the session of Kinross West United Free Church. Further union followed in 1925 between the congregation of Kinross West United Free and Kinross East United Free, under the name of Kinross United Free Church. Upon the 1929 union between the United Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland, Kinross United Free was renamed Kinross East Church of Scotland and in 1979 the congregation of Kinross Church of Scotland was formed by the union of Kinross East and Kinross West. Kinross Church of Scotland sits under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Perth. |
