They formed a break-away group known as the Secession Church. This then split again in the late 1740s, leading to the creation of the Burgher Church. In St Andrews the members of the Burgher Church met in an old barn on Imrie’s Close. This was used as a place of worship between 1749 and 1774. In the mid-twentieth century there were plans to demolish the former kirk, but the property was rescued and restored by the St Andrews Preservation Trust. It is now a small house. 1740 Bess Rhodes Site 58 21/05/2021 10/05/2023 09:56:27 pm (1) Raymond Lamont-Brown, St Andrews: City by the Northern Sea (Edinburgh, 2006), p. 167.
