Highlanders? Memorial Church, Glasgow, resulted from the union of 1900, when a congregation was formed of those in favour of the union, but homeless as a result of the legal problems arising therefrom. They met successively in United Free churches in Kent Road and Breadalbane Street, but in 1916 acquired the former St Peter?s United Free Church at the corner of Blythswood Street and Waterloo Street. The gift of this building to the congregation was with the intention that the church should serve as a memorial to Highlanders killed during the First World War. It terminated in 1941 on uniting with St Matthew?s as St Matthew?s Highlanders? Memorial. As a Church of Scotland charge it was in the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Clydesdale. |
