Scotch Settlement Church Area History
In 1815—140 Scots came from Lord Selkirk's Red River Settlement in Manitoba eventually making their way to what is know as the Scotch Settlement in West Gwillimbury. A rich history unfolds in this area with the establishment of the first school and church building (1823) known as Auld Kirk. (see: "The Settlement of Auld Kirk" Cache). In 1865 a second church was established. Originally known as "The 2nd West Gwillimbury Presbyterian Church" — over time, the church became known as "The Scotch Settlement Presbyterian Church". The church was established (split from Auld Kirk) partly because some members wished to incorporate the use of an organ during the services. The church continued to operate until 1984 when the congregation joined together with St. John's Bradford United Church.

West of this church, the Scotch Settlement Arboretum (see: "Scotch Settlement Arboretum" Cache) was created by the Bondhead and District Horticultural Society.

# 150 for me. I had mistaken this church for the Auld Kirk, and had therefore inappropiately logged it as such. Now updating on the 25th of October. I rarely cache alone, but on my way home fron Waterloo and this one sounded interesting and special for my 150th. My GPS batteries died just as I got off the 400, but I went to the most likely spot and there it was. Wandering around, I read some of the headstones. I paused at the small grave of Donald Sutherland, born in 1875 and died at the age of four. Life must have been harsh in that time. We are so fortunate. SL,TSLS,TFTC.
