1 review of Murrayfield United Free Church

A historic church

What a nice surprise! As I reached the end of the historical main street of Bannockburn, I arrived at this church, known to residents as "the auld kirk" (the old church). It's not a very tall building, and has a gabled roof and no central steeple. It's the most historical church in the town, with the natural inclination of the street suggesting that when it was first built, it stood apart on a little hill.

This was originally Catholic but, as a result of the Religious Reformation, it fell into other hands before finally being abandoned, until it was acquired by the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland.

This group was founded in 1900, and arrived in this area in about 1950, after the Second World War. How strange, to see the oldest church in the town run by newcomers! As a historian, I have to say that it's not as well-preserved as it could be; instead of colorful stained glass, the windows are boarded up like you'd expect from squatters. Let's hope things improve in the future.
