history |
Kirkcowan United Secession Church originated with a group who appear in the records of the Secession as early as the 1740s, but no separate congregation was formed. In 1836 the Secession Presbytery of Wigtown agreed to send preachers to Kirkcowan and the first minister was inducted in 1844. The charge then passed successively to the United Presbyterian and United Free Churches. The United Free charge was named Kirkcowan, but known as Dawson Memorial, and passed with that name to the Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland charge, which was in the presbytery of Wigtown and the synod of Ayr, united with Kirkcowan St Conan's in 1954 as Kirkcowan. |
