It was founded in 1612, to replace the old church in Gullane which was being continually overblown with sand.
OPRs (Old Parish Registers) exist as far back as 1664 for Births, Marriages, and Deaths, however, there are a number of gaps, particularly with deaths.
Further details of gaps, omissions, etc can be found on the NRS.
