I looked at the Statisical Accounts last night.I think it was the second account by Rev Purves in which he mentions the difficulty of parishioners in the upper ie southern part of the parish, because of the distance. Purves refers to the 2 types of secessionists in the parish. As far as I know their churches were in town. He also says there are no subdivisions ie only Relief Church and one other. I am not sure whether that is true of earlier times. (By the time of the official publication date of the second Statistical Account in 1845 Rev Purves himself had left the Church of Scotland. He was a Free Church Minister from 1843 onwards. The writer of the earlier account was Rev Somerville, uncle (and father in law) of the mathematician Mary Somerville.)
