| '''History—<br>'''The minister and congregation at Ormiston “came out” in 1843. The church was erected in 1843–1844. The minister of Heriot and some of his people also adhered to the Free Church at the Disruption. No site for a church could be obtained at Heriot, so a congregation was formed at Pathhead and a church built. When the minister retired in 1861, Pathhead was reduced to a station. In 1866 the Free Church minister of Ormiston also retired, and the two congregations were united under one minister. A vacancy occurred in 1873 and in 1874 both were reduced to stations. In 1874 sanction was restored to Ormiston. Pathhead was entirely suppressed.<br>'''Membership:''' Ormiston 1848, 151; 1900, 149.
