Uddingston Old Parish Church, Old Glasgow Road, Uddingston G71 7HF

OS Grid Ref: NS 696602

Uddingston Old has its roots in the resolutions to build two distinct Churches in the 1870s. Over the years, both Churches have enjoyed vibrant worship, finally joining together in 1982 to form Uddingston Old Parish Church. The two churches were Trinity Parish Church and Uddingston Chalmers Church. www.uddingstonold.org.uk

The Communion Table is from the Trinity Church
