The Church of Scotland family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. 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.

It is one of many congregations found across Scotland, a nation whose Christian story runs from Iona and Whithorn to today's city church plants. Shetland lies within Shetland, whose county town is Lerwick. Visitors are welcome, whether you live in Shetland or are simply passing through.

If you are thinking of visiting, there is no need to book: most congregations are delighted to see new faces. Getting there is usually easiest on foot or by local bus, since on-site parking can be scarce, and anyone who needs step-free access should contact the church beforehand to check what the building offers.
