  • The Church History- www.stninianscraigmailen.org.uk/church-history/ Unions: In 1900, the United Presbyterian and Free Churches united to become the United Free Church of Scotland; thus there came to be three U.F. Churches in Linlithgow - the East, at the top of Station Brae; the West or Trinity (Craigmailen) and the High (this Church). On the 1st of March, 1917, the East and West Churches united and became Craigmailen United Free Church. When the United Free Church rejoined the Church of Scotland in 1929, the two congregations became St. Ninian's Parish Church (formerly High United Free) and Craigmailen Parish Church respectively. They remained thus until 2nd June, 1954
