Giffnock United Reform Church

Description

Since 2000 the church, which occupies land opposite Morrisons in Giffnock, has been part of the United Reformed Church. The building was erected in 1936, as Giffnock Congregational Church, and incorporates a beautiful rose window brought to Giffnock from an earlier Congregational Church in Eglinton Street, Glasgow. The history of the congregation goes back to the early 19th century, when it was established in Glasgow for Gaelic speaking students.
