These persons applied for and obtained supply of sermon from the Associate Burgher Presbytery of Glasgow in 1783. Church built in 1786. The minister and the majority of the congregation withdrew from the Associate Synod in 1800 and along with others formed the Original Associate, Old Light Burgher Synod. When the majority of the Original Associate Burgher congregations united with the Church of Scotland in 1839, this one remained in the minority. When the remnant Burgher congregations united with the Original Secession Synod in 1842, this congregation again remained aloof, and instead they united with the Reformed Presbyterian Church. The congregation eventually became connected with the Free Church in 1876 when the great majority of Reformed Presbyterian congregations did the same.<br>'''Membership:''' 1839, 400; 1877, 205; 1900, 206.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev.
