Clunie Free Church
History— The minister of Clunie "came out" in 1843. An unsuccessful attempt was made to unite Clunie and Lethendy in one charge. Territorial and county influence was hostile to the Free Church. A decline in the rural population acted adversely on the congregation. Membership: 1848, 280; 1900, 103. 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.
