Gartmore Free Church
History— The minister of the quad sacra parish here, and the great majority of the congregation, "came out" in 1843. A year later they were deprived of their church. They worshiped in the Free Church school, which had then been built, or in the open air at Gartmore Lodge, until their church was opened in 1848. The minister was allowed to occupy the manse until 1848. The new manse was erected in 1859. The church was renovated in 1892 and a hall built in 1893. For a time, after the Disruption, a Gaelic catechist was maintained at Aberfoyle. Membership: 1848, 122; 1900, 88. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
