United Presbyterian Church, Thurso
United Presbyterian Church, now extinct, was a parish church of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in Thurso, Caithness. The original church was built in 1777 with seating for 590, and a newer building was erected around 1801.
==History==
The date of this congregation's origin cannot be stated with exactness. Sir George Sinclair in his evidence before the Patronage Commission put it about 1767. He also stated that "at a previous period two of the parish ministers in succession were understood to have preached Arminian doctrine, in consequence of which a secession had taken place, the necessity of which the inhabitants much regretted." The law papers in the well-known Thurso Case give 1766 as the year. When Elgin Presbytery was formed four years after this Thurso, in conjunction with Wick, was placed as a vacancy under their inspection, and in September of that year a call from Thurso signed by 19 male members and adhered to by other 10 in favour of Alexander Howison was set aside by the Synod. The people had previously petitioned the Presbytery to procure them a hearing of one or more probationers, and in particular two who were learning the Gaelic language, a description which applied to Howison, who was in course of time ordained at Howford.〔 The church built in 1777.
