Pitcairngreen Free Church
History— The parish minister of Moneydie, and most of his congregation, "came out" in 1843 joined by Free Church adherents from the parishes of Redgorton, Tibbermore, and Methven. A church was built in the hamlet of Pitcairngreen in 1844. A new church was later erected in 1893. The congregation was largely influenced by the revivals of 1859–61, 1874, and 1886–87. Membership: 1848, 474; 1900, 275. 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.
