Free Church of Scotland

Free Church of Scotland

The Free Church of Scotland is the name of three historic Presbyterian denominations in Scotland, two of which exist today:
* The Free Church of Scotland (1843-1900) was the name of that part of the Scottish Church that seceded from the Church of Scotland in the Disruption of 1843.
* The Free Church of Scotland (post 1900) is that part of the Free Church of 1843 that remained outside of the union with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in 1900.
* The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) is a church composed of the minority party of a rupture in the post-1900 Free Church in 2000.
