The Scotch Settlement is seen as the founding settlement of the West Gwillimbury area and South Simcoe County. The earliest structure purpose-built as a place of worship was the Auld Kirk on the 6th Line West Gwillimbury.

Following the Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843, the congregation of the Auld Kirk divided. The larger number of people joined the Free Church, and in 1844 a new building was erected on a part of the Watson farm, Lot 7, Concession 4. The Church is in the north-west corner of the lot, so that it actually fronts onto the 5th Concession (not the 4th).

There are 16 rows numbered from West to East; plots are numbered 1 to 12 from North to South. NOTE: ALL 190 NAMES EXISTING ON GRAVESTONES IN THIS CEMETERY, UP TO AND INCLUDING SEPTEMBER 2010, HAVE NOW BEEN RECORDED HEREIN. All photos have been taken, however the posting of said photos is currently the contributor's active work in progress.
