Old photograph of Reverend Thomas Munn, in 1903 he was Minister of Forgan Church by Newport-on-Tay in Fife, across from Dundee, Scotland. A house, formerly occupied by the Tay Rail Bridge workmen, was gutted and turned into a small church hall and opened in 1889. Soon, however, it too lacked sufficient space and following a bazaar in Dundee in 1894 at which more than £600 was raised the new church hall was completed and opened for public worship in September 1895. Some years later following its elevation from Mission to Chapel of Ease status the Reverend Thomas Munn, Minister of Forgan, ceased to be its pastor and the Reverend Robert Constable Mitchell became the first Church of Scotland Minister.
