Carswell Halls
Image: © Kenneth Mallard Taken: 9 Sep 2009
Eaglesham Old and Carswell Church and Session House was built in 1788 with alterations around 1890 and contained 480 sittings. The building was formerly the Carswell United Presbyterian Church (the United Presbyterian Church was formed in 1847 following the union between the Secession Church and the Relief Church) before it merged in 1900 with the Free Kirk who had their church in what is the present church halls in Montgomery Street opposite Mid Road. In 1929, the united congregations became the Carswell Church of Scotland before finally merging with the Parish Church to form the present Eaglesham Parish Church. The church is now the Carswell Halls and takes its name after the Rev. William Carswell who was ordained in 1827.
