Baptismal basin, owned by the Gaelic Free Church of Edinburgh

The metal baptismal basin was given to the Gaelic Free Church of Edinburgh by Alexander McIntosh in 1844. Such basins were used at a table or put into baptismal brackets.

On the rim of the basin is an inscription that reads: 'Presented by Alexr. McIntosh to the Gaelic Free Church, Edinburgh, 1844'.

The minister and most of the members and office bearers of the Gaelic-speaking congregation of the Church of Scotland joined the Free Church at the time of the Disruption of 1843, and formed the Gaelic Free Church.
