history |
Edinburgh, Rose Street United Associate Session Church originated with a Burgher congregation later known as Broughton Place. This group had built a church in Rose Street, opened in 1786 but later found to be too small, and had emigrated to Broughton Place in 1821. A minority preferred to remain and form a separate congregation, which later joined in the union with the United Presbyterians and in 1875 removed to Palmerston Place. It passed successively to the United Free Church, as Edinburgh Palmerston Place, and to the Church of Scotland. The Church of Scotland charge united with Belford in 1970 and with Lothian Road in 1976, still as Palmerston Place. It is in the presbytery of Edinburgh and was, until the abolition of synods in 1993, in the synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. |
