Kintore Free Church
History—  The minister and about half the members of the parish church “came out” in1843. They worshiped at first in the Farmers’ Hall. The church, which was forthwith erected, had to be placed in a low position, within flood mark of the river. A new church in a satisfactory site was built in 1847. Granite quarries gave employment to a number of men. Membership: 1848, 300; 1900, 202. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914.
