Communion flagons, Quarrelwood Congregation, Kirkmahoe, 1745
The congregation at Quarrelwood were Cameronians, supporters of
Richard Cameron, a Covenanter killed by government troops in
1680. Officially called the United Societies of the Suffering
Remnant of the True Presbyterian Church in Scotland, they were
known as McMillanites, after one of their early ministers, John
McMillan. The small congregation continued into the 1830s
when it was absorbed into the Martyrs Church, Dumfries
One flagon is by James Wright of Edinburgh and the other is
attributed to Stephen Maxwell of Glasgow. While they are of
contemporary date, they are not a pair.
