Tour Scotland photograph of the New Church in Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. Scone New Church was originally the Free Church when it was built in 1887. The congregation of Scone New was formed by the union of the Abbey and West churches in 1952, Abbey Church was built in 1843 during the Disruption, while West Church was built in 1748. West Church, in Abbey Road, was built after 1747, when some of the congregation objected to the new Minister being appointed in the Parish Church. They left the Established Church and formed into the Burgher section of the Secession Church. The building is a large rectangular structure, with impressive buttresses down the sides, four each side, and larger paired buttresses at the corners and gable ends.
