Aberdeen - Trinity Free, United Free, Church of Scotland kirk session

A secession church court. It was originally founded around 1750 as a missionary chapel in the parish of Aberdeen - St Nicholas, on the site of the old convent built by the Brethren of the Holy Trinity or Red Friars in 1211. In 1843 the minister led his whole congregation out to form Trinity Free Church. (The original Trinity Church was closed and sold in 1846, although a new parish was created in 1877 by disjunction from Aberdeen - St Nicholas and a new church built.) Trinity Free Church became a United Free Church charge in 1900 and a Church of Scotland parish in 1929, retaining the name Trinity. the parish united with Aberdeen - St Mark's in 1981.
