Reverend Frank Haughton arrived at St Mary’s Parish Church in 1947, after starting his ministry in Ayrshire and then moving to Kirkcaldy.
The Glasgow University and Trinity College graduate, who became only the third minister of St Mary’s since the church was founded in 1893, quickly involved himself in all areas of parish life - including founding the church’s Boys’ Brigade Company in 1959.
