Background
History
The building was founded as the Trinity Congregational Church. Originally designed by John Honeyman and completed in 1864, it is a distinctive feature on the landscape with its Gothic Revival spire.
Description
After the RSNO moved out of Henry Wood Hall, the congregation of The Tron Church at Bath Street (previously based in Buchanan Street before the congregation departed following disagreement with the Church of Scotland on the authority of the Bible, particularly as pertaining to attitudes towards same-sex marriages among members of the clergy in 2012) purchased the building and put it back into use as a place of worship. It is now called Tron Kelvingrove. It is a congregation within the Didasko presbytery, a new denomination in Scotland, largely composed of former Church of Scotland congregations.
