Archival historyBy the beginning of the 20th Century the Auld Kirk was no longer considered sufficient for the needs of the people of Kirkintilloch. The heritors were legally responsible for paying for a new church, but refused to sanction the new building until it was agreed that they would only be assessed for £7,000, half of the total cost. The remaining money was provided by the Kirk Session and private subscriptions. St Mary's Parish Church was officially opened in September 1914.
