William Taylor (moderator)

William Taylor (1748–1825) was a minister of the Church of Scotland who served as Moderator of the General Assembly in 1806.

He was born on 28 February 1748 in Crieff the eldest son of John Taylor a local merchant.

In April 1777 he was ordained as minister of Baldernock, a small village ten miles north of Glasgow.

Through corruption of the name the locals quickly branded the church "St Enoch" (wrongly implying a male saint).

He was buried in the churchyard at St Enoch's but this was destroyed when the church was demolished in 1926 to make way for a bus station.
