Québec - Montréal

The Presbyterian Churches of Quebec City

Quebec City 1764

About 1764, three hundred men of the Fraser Highlanders and the Black Watch regiments were disbanded and granted lands.

Quebec City 1786

The Quebec Gazette reported in 1786 a landing of 520 Highland Scots from Greenock at Québec. This is generally accepted as the first reliable report of a Scottish landing in British North America

Quebec City 1789

The Parish of Saint Andrew’s was organized about 1789, the new church building opened on November 30th 1810 on Ste-Anne Street. The church still exist to this day at the same location – The parish was composed in the early to the mid-1800s of comfortable bourgeois Scots. Most Scots of the city were Presbyterians, although some Scots were members of other religious groups. Some of the commercial and administrative members of the Scottish community were Anglicans and a number of Catholic Highlanders settled in British North America. The latter group was especially the case of those who had served in the British Army. The latter and the former were to discover that Canada in comparison with Europe was a haven of religious tolerance – Most Scots prior to 1825 resided in Québec City or Montréal so that Presbyterianism before 1825 remained for the most part an urban phenomenon.

Quebec City 1861

In 1861, the population of Québec City was 51,109, of whom, 41,477 were Catholics, 5,740 were Anglicans, 1,253 were Presbyterians, 859 were Free Church, over a 1,000 were Methodists and 15,000 to 16,000 were Irish Catholics.
