The Disruption

[swontgirl]

I have read many articles on the disruption in the Presbyterian church that mention 7 or 9(can't remember off the top of my head) parishes in Aberdeenshire that were initially involved but I have never found which parishes these were. Does anyone know the exact parishes?

Hi swontgirl,

The following webpage refers to the seven ministers of Strathbogie who were suspended.

And:

The Presbytery of Strathbogie was made up of the following parishes (in the counties of Elgin, Banff and Aberdeen):

• Bellie
• Botriphnie
• Cairnie
• Gartly
• Glass
• Grange
• Huntly
• Keith
• Marnoch
• Mortlach
• Rhynie
• Rothiemay

I don't know which of these parishes had the ministers that were suspended.

All the best,

AndrewP
