history |
Comrie Free Church, in the Presbytery of Auchterarder, was formed at the Disruption in 1843. A church and manse were subsequently erected. A new church, designed by the architect George Turnbull Ewing, was erected between 1879 and 1881 with a legacy left by a member of the congregation. In 1900 when the United Free Church was formed through the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church, this congregation became Comrie West Church. Comrie United Presbyterian Church became Comrie East. Comrie East and West churches merged in 1924 to form Comrie United Free Church and retained the Comrie West building and manse (formerly Comrie Free Church). The East church was sold to the Parish Church as a hall. In 1929 the United Free Church reunited with the Church of Scotland. This congregation became Comrie St Kessog's and retained its minister, Allan McDonald Craig, church, manse and hall. In 1956 the church was united with Comrie Old Church under the name of Comrie Old and St Kessog's. |
