Long Acre Chapel, Aberdeen, Wesleyan Methodist

It was founded in 1817. It is now closed, but we do not know the date of closure .

Bought from the Scottish Episcopal Church, the former St Andrew's replaced the Methodist Queen Street Chapel which was ruinous and too small. See [The Story of Early Methodism in Aberdeen, by Ernest Wilkinson, M.A. p18].

The Wesleyan Methodist church was formed in the 18th century from religious societies founded by John Wesley and his preachers. It suffered many secessions, but was the largest Nonconformist denomination in the 19th century. In 1932 the Wesleyan Methodists joined with the Primitive Methodists and the United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
