Strachur Parish Church
Strachur Free Church & United Free Church
United Free Church, formerly The Free Church and Manse, built in the 1850s. It became The United Free Church during the ‘Disruption’ in the 1900s.
“The Disruption was in 1843 when the Free Church began by splitting from the Church of Scotland. Over the years there were various amalgamations and splits but in 1900 most of the Free Church joined another church to become the United Free Church. Those who didn’t want to join remained as the Free Church, hence the present Free Church building.”
