'''History— <br>'''Cameronian dissenters were to be found in Stirling and its neighborhood from very early times. An accession to their number was made in 1776 when several people left the Erskine Burgher congregation because of dissatisfaction with the settlement of a new minister. This afforded enough strength of numbers for a Stirling congregation to be formed in 1777 when the Northern Scotland congregation was divided. The church was built in 1783. This congregation joined the Free Church in 1876, as did most Reformed Church congregations. <br>'''Membership:''' 1877, 89; 1900, 109.<br>'''Sources:''' ''The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland'', by W.J.
