history |
Leith, St Andrew's Place (Antiburgher) Church began with a petition to the Antiburgher Presbytery of Edinburgh in 1787, leading to the establishment of a congregation (at first known as 'St Andrew Place'), with a minister ordained in 1791. It passed successively to the United Presbyterian and United Free Churches, in the latter case as Leith St Andrew's Place. It then passed to the Church of Scotland at the union of 1929 and united with Leith Claremont 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. |
