    1. [ARGYLL] Celebrations? - the church.
    2. I am definitely no expert in this subject (I wish my dad was computer literate as he so knowledgeable in all aspects of Scottish history) but..... as far as I gather, the free church of Scotland emerged from the "disruption" in 1843. and as far as I know the Free church of Scotland was reunited with the established church of Scotland the - United Presbyterian Church of Scotland to form the United Free Church of Scotland in 1929. My father has told me in the past that the "Free's" (in their pure form) are still in existence (in a theological sense) on the Isle of Skye (or were), they would demand that nothing was done on sunday's including travelling to the island (of which is now beyond there control with the new(ish) bridge). I once saw a wonderful Illustration of scottish religion, over the years. I will try and find it and post it here, I have a feeling it's on a website connected to ayrshire. Regards Morag
