LAURIESTON, an ecclesiastical district (for a time),
on the south side of the river Clyde, and within the
jurisdiction of the city of Glasgow, county of Lanark.
This district was formed of a portion of the parish of
Gorbals adjoining the suburb of Tradeston. It was in
the presbytery of Glasgow, synod of Glasgow and Ayr,
and the patronage was vested in the Church-Building
Society of Glasgow: the church was built upon a site
purchased by the commissioners in Warwick-street.
