ST LUKE'S

(Q.S.).

[A church in Young Street, originally a Unitarian chapel, was purchased by the Kirk-session of St George's in 1834, and rebuilt. It was opened for public worship 28th May 1837. In 1843 the minister, the twelve elders, and the trustees joined the Free Church, retaining possession of the building. They were, however, ejected on 4th March 1849, and services in connection with the Church of Scotland were resumed. The church and district were constituted a chapel-of-ease by the General Assembly in 1841, and erected into a parish by decree of the Court of Teinds, 11th Feb. 1863. The district having become depopulated, an Act of Parliament (3 Edward VII. cap. 66) was obtained to transfer the endowments, minister, etc., to a new church and parish to be erected within the city of Edinburgh. A new church was accordingly built at Comely Bank, and opened for worship 10th Oct. 1908. The old parish was reannexed to St George's, and the new parish (taken chiefly from the Dean and partly from St Bernard's) was erected by decree of the Court of Teinds on 6th Feb. 1909.]
