 '''History—<br>'''A praying society, which had existed from the time of the Covenanters in the village of Easthouses in the parish of Newbattle, which adjoins Dalkeith, acceded to the Associate Presbytery in October 1737. They were supplied with sermon on average once in six weeks. In February 1741 they were further increased by the accession of two elders and upwards of thirty other persons in the parish of Dalkeith. A church was built in 1742 and a second in 1812. This congregation became Burgher at the Breach in 1747. In 1878 a new church was built on Buccleuch Street.

 '''History—'''<br>This congregation originated in unpopular settlements of ministers which took place about the same time in the parishes of Dalkeith and Cockpen. The parties who withdrew from the Established Church on these occasions joined in a petition to the Relief Presbytery of Edinburgh to be taken under their inspection as a congregation, which was granted in 1768.

 '''History—'''<br>James Monteith, senior minister of the parish, “came out” in 1843. A meeting had been held in December 1842 to prepare for possible contingencies so that at the Disruption there was an organized congregation to represent the Free Church in Dalkeith. The congregation worshiped at first in the United Associate Secession Church, kindly granted for the purpose. The new church was built and opened in December 1843. It was remodeled in 1845 and reseated in 1877. A school was erected in 1845 and a manse in 1863. The congregation carried on a mission at Newton Grange which became a sanctioned charge in 1884 under the name of Newbattle.<br>'''Membership: '''1838, 484; 1848, 450; 1900, 408.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals of the Free Church of Scotland'', 1843–1900, ed.
