Old Bluff Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located near Wade, Cumberland County, North Carolina. The church congregation was founded in 1758. Later its pastor was the Rev. John McLeod, who came from the Isle of Skye, Scotland, in 1770. He was accompanied by many families of Highland Scots.〔Bigelow, Francis Hill (1917).
