Illustration by William Henry Margetson (1861-1940) from a history of the Scottish People published in 1894. Info from wiki: The Disruption of 1843[1] was a schism[2] or division[3] within the established Church of Scotland, in which 450 evangelical ministers of the Church broke away, [4] over the issue of the Church's relationship with the State, to form the Free Church of Scotland.[5] It came at the end of a bitter conflict within the established Church, and had huge effects not only within the Church, but also upon Scottish civic life. The Free Church of Scotland was a Scottish denomination which was formed in 1843 by a large withdrawal from the established Church of Scotland in a schism[1] or division[2] known as the Disruption of 1843.[3] 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 mostly re-united with the Church of Scotland in 1929). The House of Lords judged that the minority continuing after the 1900 union were entitled to all the assets. While the denomination clearly had a starting date, in their own eyes their leaders had a legitimate claim to an unbroken succession of leaders going all the way back to the Apostles. The minority of the Free Church of Scotland who continued outside the union of 1900, retained the title the Free Church of Scotland.
