 '''History—'''<br>Those persons who belonged to the General Associate Anti-burgher branch of the Secession resident in the parish of Redgorton declined cooperating with the Associate Burgher Seceders and members of the Relief Church when they united in the formation of a congregation in that locality, and therefore proceeded to organize one by themselves. In June 1797 several members were disjoined from Perth North for this purpose. The church was built in 1797. When the union of the two great branches of the Secession took place in 1820, the minister protested against it and with his congregation refused to join in it. After his death in 1827, the congregation joined the Original General Associate Anti-burgher Synod, but protested again when that Synod formed a union with the Original Associate Burgher Synod, and remained apart.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev.

+The [http://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cmas/site.php?id=125893 existing parish church] is a T-shaped structure dating in its present form largely from 1839 and 1869. It is possible, however, that its main body embodies a substantial part of its medieval predecessor.

+= Civil Registration Records<br>  =
 Government or civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths (also called statutory records) began on January 1, 1855 in Scotland. Each parish has a registrar's office and large cities have several. The records are created by the registrars and copies are sent to the General Register Office in Edinburgh. Annual indexes are then created for the records for the whole country. <br>See the article on [[Scotland Civil Registration- Vital Records|Scotland Civil Registration]] for more information and to access the records.
