Campbeltown Relief, United Presbyterian kirk session
A secession church court. It began as Campbeltown Relief Church in 1767, when a major part of the congregation left the Campbeltown Lowland charge of the Established church in protest at the Patronage Act. In 1835 there was a major split in the congregation over the question of union with the United Secession, which culminated in a court case. As a result, part of the congregation rejoined the Lowland charge, while the majority remained in the Relief church. In 1849 the nearby United Secession congregation, formed in 1832, was dissolved, and the majority of its members joined the Relief congregation. The charge passed successively to the United Presbyterian and United Free Churches, in the latter case as Campbeltown Longrow, and to the Church of Scotland in 1929. In 1971 it united with Campbeltown Lowland Charge to form Campbeltown Lowland
