The Disruption of 1843 resulted in a second church being established, at the junction of Main Street and Symington Road, however this has now been demolished.
the minister of the parish, George Orr and his congregation, "came out" and for or a time they worshiped in a vacant public house, adapted for the purpose; the minister himself having to live in a rented room in a nearby farm house.
The new Free Church and schoolhouse were built in February 1844.
