The congregation first opened a Presbyterian Church on this site in 1752. It was replaced by the present building which was opened in March 1878 - work had started in February 1877. The new building was designed by James Alexander Doull of Edinburgh and could seat up to 500 people. Nearly 900 people attended the opening service. In 1972, the church became part of the United Reformed Church and after joining with other congregations in the area, it closed in December 2020.
