Tour Scotland Summer 4K travel video of the parish church and graveyard on ancestry, history visit to Airth. Airth is a Royal Burgh, village, former trading port and civil parish in Falkirk. There has been a church in Airth since at least 1128. The church was appropriated to Holyrood Abbey by King David I. The post reformation church was a quoad omnia parish. The church remained in the Church of Scotland in 1843. In 1929 it was re-named Airth North Church to distinguish it from the former United Free Church, Airth South, but reverted to the name Airth Parish Church after Airth South was closed on 1 January 1956. The Church of Scotland kirk session for Airth sat in the presbytery of Stirling until 1929. It then sat within the presbytery of Linlithgow and Falkirk and from 1976 in the presbytery of Falkirk.
