Kilmaronock Relief Church, later United Presbyterian
History— When the church and parish of Kilmaronock became vacant in 1770, the parishioners were much opposed to the patrons’ choice for minister. When he was ordained, the parishioners almost wholly withdrew from the Established church and applied for and obtained supply of sermon from the Relief Presbytery of Glasgow. A first church was built in 1772 and a second in 1853. Source: Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church, by Rev. Wm. MacKelvie, D.D., pub. 1873. Film #477618.
