St Andrew’s Parish Church, Coatbridge was formed by the union of the former Congregations of Dunbeth, Gartsherrie and Maxwell. The union occurred in 1993. The new united Congregation of St Andrew’s meets in the former Gartsherrie Church building, the two other buildings having been sold to a property developer and converted to flats.
The former Maxwell Church building can be seen at the bottom of Weir Street in Coatbridge. The former Dunbeth Church building can be seen at the top of Weir Street.
The organ in St Andrew’s was built by Willis in 1870. Originally a tracker, it was altered to tubular pneumatic circa 1930s by Andrew Watt of Glasgow. The specification of the organ is as follows (stops added by Watt are marked with an asterisk)
