history |
The congregation of Doune Associate (Burgher) Session, which sat within the Presbytery of Stirling and later of Dunblane, was formally organised in 1812 when a group of malcontents broke free from the Burgher congregation of Dunblane and joined together with a number of dissenters in Doune, who had left the Bridge of Teith Church. The first minister of the newly established Doune congregation, Mr Samuel Armour, was ordained in 1815. The Doune Burgher congregation later joined the Church of Scotland in 1839 and in 1843, at the time of the Disruption, the minister and congregation of Doune adhered to the Free Church. Doune remained as a separate Free Church charge until the retiral of the minister in 1871, at which time the congregation was dissolved and the members were joined with the session of Kilmadock Free Church. |
