history |
Leith South Free Church was formed at the Disruption, when the minister of the second charge of South Leith and a large part of the congregation adhered to the Free Church. A church was built and opened in 1844, later replaced after a fire by a new one at the foot of Easter Road in 1881. It passed successively to the United Free Church, as Leith South, and to the Church of Scotland, as Edinburgh Leith Claremont, which united with Leith St Andrew's Place as Leith St Andrew's in 1973. The Church of Scotland charge was in the presbytery of Edinburgh and the synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. |
