Chryston Free Church
History— At the instance of those who at the Disruption adhered to the Free Church in the parish of Cadder, a station was formed here in 1845. The church was built in 1846. The charge was sanctioned in 1848 and a school teacher’s house and manse were erected. The congregation profited greatly by the revival of 1859–1860. In 1881 over fifty members were disjoined to form the station at Glenboig. Membership: 1848, 140; 1900, 352. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. FHL Film #918572. More details may be given in the source including a list of ministers.

Records— The extent of records is unknown.

Bishopbriggs Free Church
History— In August 1843 evening services were begun in Auchinairn a mile and a half from Bishopbriggs. A mission station was formed in 1862. The charge was sanctioned in 1865. Shortly thereafter a church and manse were built in Bishopbriggs. Mining, quarrying and agriculture were then the main local industries. Mining and quarrying were largely wrought out in course of time but the extension of the tramway from Glasgow made the district more residential. Membership: 1869, 93; 1900, 244. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. FHL Film #918572. More details may be given in the source including a list of ministers.
