1963 – The Present Church

The present Church was dedicated by Rev Douglas Beck just prior to the induction of Harold Troup, which took place on 27 March 1963.

On 13 Mar 1964 the AGM was held “in the Church”.

The year 1964 saw the discontinuation of the ferry and on 6th September a service was held on board the Queen Margaret, in conjunction with South Queensferry and a band from HMS Caledonia.

At some point in 1964 the church also apparently hosted a “Radio Songs of Praise” jointly with South Queensferry and Inverkeithing, conducted by Rev A. D. Stirling.

In October 1965 Presbytery approved the building of the church hall; by January 1966 the sum of £1,015 had been raised in the village. The foundations were laid in May 1966 and the hall was dedicated by Mr Troup on 11 September 1966. By March 1968 the cost of the hall had been paid off.

The centenary was celebrated by a summer fete on Saturday 24 June 1978 in a marquee in the field at the back of the hall.

This Booklet was published in celebration of one hundred years of North Queensferry Church.
