Now a Community Centre, visit a former United Reformed Church with its origins as a Presbyterian Church in the 18th century. Go up to the Bell Tower, see their new Mini Museum, pictures of Bygone Spittal and much more.
Throughout the weekend, there will be a photographic exhibition of old Spittal and some information about Spittal during the Second World War. There will also be the opportunity to see the brand-new Mini Museum of local finds. Pop in and you can also pick up a leaflet for a self guided walk around Secret Spittal.
The congregation first opened a Presbyterian Church on this site in 1752. It was replaced by the present building which was opened in March 1878 - work had started in February 1877. The new building was designed by James Alexander Doull of Edinburgh and could seat up to 500 people. Nearly 900 people attended the opening service. In 1972, the church became part of the United Reformed Church and after joining with other congregations in the area, it closed in December 2020.
