Scottish Episcopal churches form a well-established strand of Christianity in the United Kingdom. The Scottish Episcopal Church is the Anglican church in Scotland, distinct from the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. It kept its bishops after the Reformation settlements and consecrated the first American bishop in 1784, a landmark for the wider Anglican Communion. It has around 300 congregations and roughly 20,000 members. The tradition traces its modern form to 1690 (separated from the established Kirk). As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts roughly 20,000 members.
The congregation shares in a long history of worship in Scotland, a nation whose Christian story runs from Iona and Whithorn to today's city church plants. Penicuik lies within Midlothian, whose county town is Dalkeith. The church forms part of the wider Scottish Episcopal presence across Midlothian.
