Edinburgh - St Andrew's kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Edinburgh and the synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. It originally formed a part of the parish of St. Cuthbert's but was disjoined in 1785 and annexed to the parish of St. Giles. In 1786, however, it was once more disjoined and erected into an independent parish. The parish church was opened in 1784 to accommodate the rising population of Edinburgh's New Town, of which St. Andrew's was both the first church and first parish.
