The original church on this site was built in 1740. In 1754 the founder, Ebenezer Erskine, was buried under the floor of the church. Ebenezer Erskine (22 June 1680 – 2 June 1754) was a Scottish minister whose actions led to the establishment of the Secession Church (formed of dissenters from the Church of Scotland). In 1824 a new church was built but today only the front facade remains. A monument to Ebenezer Erskine was built over his original tomb in the central churchyard. The modern building behind the facade is now used as the Stirling Youth Hostel since 1993. Several gravesites are evident along the periphery of the drive and parking area.
