Glasgow - Tron (quoad sacra) kirk session

A Church of Scotland quoad sacra parish. It sat within the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. Tron St Mary's Church, Glasgow, owed its origins to the pre-Reformation collegiate church of Our Lady and St Anne on the south side of Trongate. In 1592 the town council put the church in order to serve for public worship. It was generally known as the Laigh Kirk (the High Kirk being the Cathedral), or Tron Kirk.
