Woodside
Former Church (possibly Congregational?) on Great Northern Road. Can you confirm the identification? © Jim Parker (2012). My appreciation to Nicola Watson, Assistant Pastor at this church, which she has advised is the former Woodside Congregational Church. Built in 1867, it was successor to The Cotton Chapel, which was built in 1821. The congregation itself was founded in 1818, initially meeting in "The Laird's Hoose". The church went out of use in 1997, and the congregation have met successively in Woodside Primary School, the School for the Deaf (which is now City of God Church - see next entry), Burgh Hall, and now meet in Printfield Portacabin on Printfield Walk, off Clifton Road.
