'''History—'''<br>There were Cameronions in the area of Pentland, Midlothian, as early as 1680, but there were no congregations. Several separate congregations were formed in Scotland in the late 1770s. A congregation in Pentland was supported in part by members from Loanhead but largely by members from Edinburgh. The Pentland church was officially sanctioned in 1787. In 1792, the congregation was moved to Loanhead. A congregation in Edinburgh was finally disjoined from Loanhead in 1818. The first minister of the separate congregation of Loanhead was ordained in 1820 and served for forty–six years. The membership of the congregation in 1847 stood at 150. <br>'''Source:''' ''The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland: its congregations, ministers, and students,'' by W. J.
