From Infirmary Street - Migration of the city centre population to the suburbs and limited space available for expansion seems to have prompted another move in 1897 to a new church in Fountainhall Road.

Later, congregational numbers suffered from the curtailment of its hinter land following the opening of Reid Memorial Church in 1935. So on Sunday 4 May 1958 Fountainhall church joined with Mayfield North church to become Mayfield & Fountainhall.

After union with Mayfield the Fountainhall Road building was used as a Christian education and training centre. it was demolished in 1975 to make way for the Newington Library.
