Carmyllie Free Church
History— The minister of the parish and many of his people adhered to the Free Church at the Disruption. No site could be obtained for church or manse. They erected a wooden church, but of this they were deprived. They worshiped for a time in a tent, and then erected a second wooden church. Finally a site was secured, and church and manse erected. In sympathy with and appreciation of their gallant struggle, the Synod appointed a special collection to assist them. The minister shared in the benefits of the Dalhousie Endowment and of the Duncan fund. Membership: 1848, 234; 1900, 189. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
