Church of Scotland congregations represent one enduring branch of the Christian faith in these islands. The Church of Scotland, often simply called the Kirk, is Scotland's national church and follows Presbyterian governance through elected elders. 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.
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. Scalloway lies within Shetland, whose county town is Lerwick. The church forms part of the wider Church of Scotland presence across Shetland.
