history |
A secession church parish. The congregation was formed in 1782 under the Relief Presbytery of St Ninian's, but the first minister was not called until 1786. It continued as the Second United Presbyterian or South Church of Crieff, until the Synod ruled in 1869 that it should unite with the North Church and it was agreed that regular worship should continue within the more commodious North Church. (A significant part of the congregation refused to accept this ruling and joined the Congregational Union.) The united session, which sat within the Presbytery of Perth, continued under the name of Crieff United Presbyterian and in 1884 a new church was erected. In 1900, at the union of the United Presbyterians and the Free Church, Crieff United Presbyterian was renamed Crieff North United Free Church and following the 1900 union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, Crieff United Free became Crieff North Church of Scotland. In 1955 Crieff North was joined with the charge of Crieff West, under the name of Crieff St Andrew's. |
