GLASGOW HERALD
29 MAY 1867
OPENING OF A NEW CHURCH
The new Free Gaelic Church, Saltcoats, was opened on Sunday last.
The services were conducted by the Rev. Thomas McLachlan, of St. Columba’s Church, Edinburgh, and the Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, Paisley, who delivered appropriate discourses suited to the occasion – the forenoon service being conducted in Gaelic, while those of the afternoon and evening were conducted in English.
At all the diets the church was well filled, and in the evening it was crowded.
The building, which is seated for 400, is a plain but neat Gothic structure, built from plans by Mr Honeyman, Glasgow, and had been erected at a cost of £980.
