Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rev. Dr Robert Gordon (1786-1853) was a prominent minister in the Disruption of the Free Church of Scotland from the Church of Scotland on18 May 1843. The Free Church of Scotland is a Scottish denomination which was formed in 1843 by a large withdrawal from the established Church of Scotland in a division known as the Disruption. In 1900 the vast majority of the Free Church of Scotland joined with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland to form the United Free Church of Scotland (which itself re-united with the Church of Scotland in 1929). A minority of the Free Church of Scotland remained outside the union of 1900, claiming the title Free Church of Scotland for itself. It continues to this day, being commonly known as the 'Wee Free'.
