history |
Edinburgh: Dalry Free Church was formed in 1877 by the Presbytery of Edinburgh, in order to serve the growing population there. A hall was built in 1878 and the congregation worshipped there until 1882 when a church building was opened. A manse was purchased in 1900. In 1900, following the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church, the congregation became Edinburgh: Dalry United Free Church. The church, hall, manse and minister, Alexander Aitken (b 1853) were retained. In 1926 the hall was remodelled to provide two halls. In 1929, following the union of the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, it became Edinburgh: Dalry Church of Scotland. In 1960 Dalry Church was united with Haymarket under the name of Dalry-Haymarket Church. In 1973 the church was united with St Bride's under the name of St Colm's Church of Scotland. |
