The Warrenpoint Congregation was formed by Gaelic-speaking Scottish Highlander planters in the late 17thC. In 1830 the then minister and some of the congregation joined the Remonstrant Synod, which later became the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church (a body whose beliefs are broadly akin to those of the Unitarian Church). Those who remained built the present meeting house in Meeting Street, which was enlarged in the 1880s. Many Presbyterians left the area during The Troubles of the 1970s, 80s and 90s. This image was taken from Charlotte Street.
