Balmullo Anti-Burgher Church

Balmullo Anti-Burgher Church

During the eighteenth century there was an Anti-Burgher congregation in Balmullo. The Anti-Burghers were one of a number of Protestant dissenting groups in Fife at this time and arose from a split within the Secession Church in the 1740s (the Secession Church having previously split from the Church of Scotland in the 1730s). In the 1790s there were apparently 22 members of the Anti-Burgher Church living in the parish of Leuchars. Their meeting place is uncertain, as is much of the congregation’s history.
