Partick South Church is Parish church of the Church of Scotland, located in the Partick area of Glasgow, Scotland.
The current church building located in Dumbarton Road, was built in 1988 in a modern contemporary style. The current church is built on the site of the original parish church, originally constructed in 1865 for the Partick West United Presbyterian congregation, later renamed Newton Place United Presbyterian. The church was built in the Neo-Gothic style, designed by Gustavus Hamilton O'Donoghue. The church was demolished in 1986. [1] [2]
The original congregation was founded as the Newton Place Relief Church in 1823 as a parish of the Relief Church. When the Relief Church united with other churches to form the United Presbyterian Church in 1947, the congregation was renamed Partick West United Presbyterian Church. In 1867 the name was changed again, to Newton Place United Presbyterian Church. In 1900, with further unions between church denominations, the congregation became a parish of the United Free Church of Scotland, renamed Newton Place United Free Church. In 1929, the congregation officially joined the established Church of Scotland, becoming Newton Place Parish Church. [3]
In 1977, the Presbytery of Glasgow decided to merge three congregations in the Partick area to form Partick South, whilst retaining the use of the Newton Place building. The union took place in 1978, and these included the congregations of Newton Place, Partick Anderson and Hamilton Crescent. [4]
Partick is an area of Glasgow on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan. To the west lies Whiteinch, to the east Yorkhill and Kelvingrove Park, and to the north Broomhill, Hyndland, Dowanhill, Hillhead, areas which form part of the West End of Glasgow. Partick was a Police burgh from 1852 until 1912 when it was incorporated into the city. Partick is the area of the city most connected with the Highlands, and several Gaelic agencies, such as the Gaelic Books Council are located in the area. Some ATMs in the area display Gaelic.
The United Presbyterian Church (1847–1900) was a Scottish Presbyterian denomination. It was formed in 1847 by the union of the United Secession Church and the Relief Church, and in 1900 merged with the Free Church of Scotland to form the United Free Church of Scotland, which in turn united with the Church of Scotland in 1929. For most of its existence the United Presbyterian Church was the third largest Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and stood on the liberal wing of Scots Presbyterianism. The Church's name was often abbreviated to the initials U.P.
