Former Dunscore East Church of Scotland, Kellieston, Dumfriesshire

A Free Church was formed in 1843 by the minister and congregation who had left the established church. In 1844 a church and manse were built. This was Dunscore Free Church. A school and schoolhouse were erected at Dunscore. When the schooling was taken over by the School Boards in 1872 the school was converted to a hall. In 1899 the church was rebuilt on the same site. The next year the Free Church united with the United Presbyterian Church.and the church became East United Free Church. In 1918 the church united with Renwick United Free Church and both churches appear to have continued in use. It then became Renwick & East United Free Church. In 1929 at the union with the Church of Scotland it became Renwick & East Church. At this point probably one of the churches closed but which one has not been established. The united church, however, united with Dunscore Old Church in 1940 and the Renwick & East Church closed. tis now in domestic use.
