Cromar, Braes of Cromar, and Coldstone Free Church
History—  Immediately after the Disruption a congregation was formed here of the Free Church adherents in the “Braes of Cromar” and the parish of Logie-Coldstone. Services were at first held in a barn. Church and manse were erected in 1843–1844. Donald Stewart, minister of the parish of Glengairn, in which lie the “Braes of Cromar,” “came out” at the Disruption. He was called by the new congregation and as it was part of that he had previously ministered to, he was settled, but not inducted. The congregation suffered from rural depopulation. Membership: 1848, 125; 1900, 102.
