History— From July 1843 occasional services were provided here. The district included part of Logierait and the Grandtully portion of Dull on opposite sides of the Tay. A church was built on the north side of the river where the majority of the people were. A school was erected on the south side in which services could be held. The charge was sanctioned in 1844. The congregation grew smaller with the decrease of population. Membership: 1848, 169; 1900, 90. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev.
