Newbigging United Associate Presbyterian Church
History— The congregation of Newbigging originated with four persons in the neighborhood. The Rev. Mr. Black suggested that application should be made for supply of sermon, which was done in 1788, and attended with success. The originators of the movement ceased to take interest in the cause when a church and manse came to be required. A place of worship was erected in 1789.
