At the Disruption in 1843, the minister of St Mary's Church in Bellevue Crescent and a large group in the congregation broke away to form St Mary's Free Church. They met first in a building in Barony Street and in 1862 moved to a new building at the corner of Albany Street and Broughton Street. It cost £13,000, had a 180ft tower and was the pride of the Free Church - the Prince Consort was brought to see it during a visit to Edinburgh before it opened. On reunion with the Church of Scotland in 1929, the church was renmed Barony. And in 1933 it united with the congregation of nearby St James Place Church, becoming known as Barony & St James Place.
But the fabric of the building began to deteriorate and part of the tower had to be demolished. The church united with another congregation in 1956 to form Hillside Church In Greenside Place. The Barony building was sold to a theatrical costumier, and was demolished in 1983, to be replaced by offices.
