That should probably read 'former United Free Kirk' because it has a rather disused air about it. Information about it is a little sparse, but it seems to have been built in 1891-1892 as a replacement of the original Free Kirk by James Souttar or his son James Alexander Souttar. Newspaper reports mentioning the Free Church stop in 1897, and are followed from 1903 to 1909 by references to the United Free Church. More research is called for; but in the meantime, if anyone knows any more about it I will be pleased to hear from them.
