Bridge Of Allan United Presbyterian Church
History— In 1848 about 80 persons belonged to the United Presbyterian Church. They desired a place of worship in their own connection and applied for and obtained supply of sermon from the United Presbyterian Presbytery of Stirling. Rev. John Steedman preached in the village on the fourth Sabbath of February 1848. It prospered and was regularly organized on the 14th of November and became the first congregation to be originated in the United Presbyterian Church. Church was built in 1849.

Bridge Of Allan Free Church
History— It appears that none “came out” of Logie parish church in 1843. A few who worshiped in Stirling North and some members of Blairlogie Secession Church met in Bridge of Allan, then only a hamlet, after the Disruption. The charge was sanctioned in 1843. A church was erected in 1845. A new church was built in 1855. The growth of the village from 1850 to 1880 as a popular health resort brought increase to the congregation. Membership: 1848, 175; 1900, 374. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. Film #918572. More details are given in the source.
