History— Several persons in the parish of Kilmadock acceded to the Associate Presbytery in April 1738. In the next year, several other persons in the vicinity acceded to the Associate Presbytery also. These persons formally joined the Secession. In July 1740, along with the Seceders in the parish of Dunblane, they were united into one Association under the designation of "The Correspondence of Monteith", and had sermon supplied to them as the Presbytery could afford it. In July 1741, 5 elders and 50 private persons in the parishes of Kilmadock, Kincardine, Monteith, and Callander acceded to the Associate Presbytery and were joined to the Correspondence of Monteith. In 1744 the place of meeting was moved from Thornhill to the Bridge of Teith, where a church was built. A new church was built in 1838.
