About us

Who we are

We are a congregation of the Church of Scotland working in partnership with the other churches in the town of Carluke.

Kirkton Church has been around since 1832 and we are a church with a long tradition…. a tradition of change. We’ve not always been able to change as quickly as some would like but throughout our history the leadership has always seen the need to adapt to changing circumstances. What hasn’t altered, however, is our desire to let people know about the good news of Jesus and the difference he can make in people’s lives.

Our Probationary Minister is Dawn Westwood

We are delighted to introduce our Probationary Minister, Dawn Westwood at Kirkton Church. Dawn will be with us for the next 15 months as she continues her journey towards becoming a full time Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Church of Scotland.
Dawn lived in West Lothian and has already completed placements in Boghall Parish Church, St Mary’s Parish Church in Motherwell, and Greyfriars Church in Lanark.

Our Children and Youth Worker is Lesley Ewing

Our Interim Moderator is Rev Bryan Kerr
