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.
The congregation shares in a long history of worship in Scotland, where the Kirk has long stood at the centre of village and city life. Lanark lies within South Lanarkshire, whose county town is Hamilton. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.
