Logie and Gauldry Free Church
History— The minister of Logie adhered to the Free Church in 1843. A church was built in the village of Logie and opened in January 1844. A manse was erected in 1846. From May 1843 a station was maintained at Gauldry. At Mr. Melville's death the assembly directed the union of Logie and Gauldry in one charge, recommending that a church should be built on a site convenient for both. The proprietor, however, refused a site and the charges remained separate, the churches being three miles apart. The union was affected in 1852. The majority of the people were at Gauldry where a weaver's shop was converted into a church in 1867. It was renovated in 1867and again in 1892. The district never recovered from the extinction of handloom weaving. Membership: 1848, 109; 1900, 124. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
