Memus Free Church
History— Groups of adherents of the Free Church from the parishes of Cortachy, Kirriemuir, Oathlaw, and Fern met in a cart shed of West Memus Far, in the parish of Tannadice in July 1843. Thereafter regular services were provided. A church was erected and opened the following October. The manse was built in 1845. It was enlarged in 1891 and the church was renovated in 1900. Several populous villages in the district dwindled and almost disappeared. Later the members were drawn from eight different parishes, the population being thin and widely scattered. Membership: 1848, 157; 1900, 133. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. Film #918572. More details may be given in the source.
