The Church of Scotland tradition holds a distinctive place within British church life.

It dates from the Scottish Reformation of 1560 and keeps a presence in parishes from the Borders to the islands. Membership stands at around 250,000, though many more Scots retain a link with their parish church. The tradition traces its modern form to 1560. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts about 250,000 members.

It belongs to the broad community of churches across Scotland, home to the Church of Scotland alongside Catholic, Episcopal, Free Church and independent congregations.
