Biggar, Biggar Kirk (CoS). A difficult church to photograph well. Two additional views - 1, 2. Closed when I visited, this link has interior views. NT 0404 3790. Link1. Link2. Category A listed, wherein it's dated to 1545. The graveyard as a whole is Category B listed. The nearby Moat Park Heritage Centre is the former Moat Park Church (1865). Its various denominations can be followed on old maps, and Janet Gimber advises that these include United Presbyterian in 1897, United Free in 1910, the unhelpful "Church" (1940), and Gillespie Moat Park Church (CoS) in 1975. NT 0398 3785. Link. Category B listed. The former Gillespie Church, now the Gillespie Centre. It closed before 1977 (see link). Old maps show the following - South UP Church (1858), Ch. (1897), UF Ch. (1910), Ch. (1940), and in 1975 as Ch. Hall. This is presumably the Church Hall for Moat Park Church. NT 0411 3776. All © Steve Bulman (2013).
