Following the Disruption a congregation was organised in Partick (then a village of 3,000). Its first minister, the Rev Harry Anderson, was inducted in 1844 and remained (with the same precentor) for over 50 years (Partick grew to 44,000). He opposed the Declaratory Act yet most of the people joined the United Free Church. The remnant, faithful to the Free Church, began meeting in 1905 and built the Church in 1910. The Rev William S Heron was admitted from the Presbyterian Church of Ireland and inducted in June 1906. He was translated to Saltcoats in 1909. In September 1913 the Rev Alexander Ross was ordained and inducted. In 1922 he accepted a call to Burghead. The Rev Peter WMillar was translated from Campbeltown in 1923 and remained at Partick until his appointment as Professor of Old Testament in 1936. The Rev Alex Macleod came from Lochgilphead in 1937 and was translated to Nairn in 1955. The Rev Neil AMacleod served from 1956 to 1963 in which year the Rev Hugh Ferrier arrived from Knockbain. In 1975 Mr Ferrier was translated to Inverness and the following year the Rev William Macleod was ordained and inducted. Following the translation of Mr Macleod to Portree the Rev Iain Smith was ordained in 1994. Mr Smith accepted a call to Tasmania in 2003 and the present minister was inducted in 2004.
