At the junction of George Street and Maberly Street. Greyfriars Free Church broke away from Greyfriars (established) Church in the Gallowgate in 1843 and after an initial abortive attempt to settle in Crown Street across the city, the congregation moved to this site in ca. 1855. The church was demolished in the 1960s and for many years a car accessory shop stood here.
