'''History—'''<br>The Secession congregation of Ellon was disjoined from Clola in 1791. Their first place of worship was leased at Auchmacoy. When the proprietor refused to renew the lease, they sold the church to him at a valuation and were obliged to move the congregation to Ellon. As Ellon is two miles west of Auchmacoy, this caused a loss in the number of members. A church was built in1827.<br>'''Membership:''' 1841, 183<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev. William MacKelvie, D.D., pub. 1873.
