Auldearn Parish Church History
Nairn St Ninians was opened on 29th December 1881 as a Free Church of Scotland and was built by Andrew Maitland & Sons (Tain) and is of a Gothic design and cost £7000 (equivalent c. £1m today). The church was consecrated by Rev. Dr. Kennedy of Dingwall. All 1200 seats were taken for the consecration service. Having started life as Nairn Free Church of Scotland, a union took place in 1900 between The Free Church and The United Presbyterian Church and was then named The United Free Church. To distinguish it from its sister Rosebank Church, it was named The High Church, Nairn. In 1929, Nairn United Free High Church became Nairn High Church of Scotland. In 1974 The High Church united with The Rosebank Church, and the new congregation was named St. Ninian’s - appropriately taking the name St. Ninian's, not only the Patron Saint of the Burgh but more importantly after one pre-eminent in bringing the Gospel to the people of Scotland. The parish extends across most of the town and out towards Auldearn.
Auldearn was built in 1757 replacing the previous church on the hill above the village. An old graveyard surrounds the Church and a newer cemetery is adjacent; both being maintained by the Highland Council. The church serves a rural parish where farming is prominent
Both Churches are congregations with long traditions and a vibrant sense of Christ’s calling in today’s world. We worship in a rich Presbyterian tradition. Through our worship, we seek to be open to new ideas, welcoming of all people, respectful of our heritage, and creative in our responses.
