Aberdeen - Greyfriars (quoad sacra) kirk session
A Church of Scotland quoad sacra parish. It sat within the presbytery of Aberdeen and the synod of Aberdeen. It was originally the 16th century Greyfriars church in Broad Street, Aberdeen, becoming the chapel for Marischal College (Aberdeen's second university) within the town parish of St Nicholas, and, in 1828, it disjoined from St Nicholas to become a parish in its own right.Records available
