Airth Parish Church
Biography
There has been a church in Airth since at least 1128. The church was appropriated to Holyrood Abbey by David I. The post-reformation church was a quoad omnia parish. Airth Parish Church remained in the Church of Scotland in 1843. In 1929 it was re-named Airth North Church to distinguish it from the former United Free Church (Airth South) but reverted to the name Airth Parish Church after Airth South was closed on 1 January 1956.
The Church of Scotland kirk session for Airth sat in the presbytery of Stirling until 1929. It then sat within the presbytery of Linlithgow and Falkirk and from 1976 in the presbytery of Falkirk.
The old Parish Church building near Airth Castle which is now in ruins was used from the late 12th century until 1820 when it was abandoned in favour of the North Church building, built to replace the old parish church by William Stirling of Dunblane.
