NORTHESK

Q.S.).

[It is stated, 10th July 1623, that "the Kirk of Musselburgh had been wont to have twa ministers; the paroche being so great and spacious." Upon a decreet by the Commissioners for Plantation of Kirks, 28th March 1650, for a new kirk, the parish was divided 10th June following. It was again recommended by the Assembly, 9th Feb. 1700, that a stipend be allowed for another minister, but on 3rd June 1718 this was found impracticable; the minister, however, continued member of Presb. till the establishment of the Widows' Fund (1744), when the charge was considered to be outwith the scope of that enactment. In 1838 a church was opened at Northesk, and a parish quoad sacra erected by the Court of Teinds, 6th July 1859.]
