The Church of Scotland, the national church of Scotland, divides the country into regional bodies called presbyteries, which in turn are subdivided into parishes, each served by a parish church, usually with its own minister. Unions and readjustments may however result in a parish having more than one building, or several parishes sharing a minister (these are known as "linked charges"). The Church of Scotland has presbyteries outwith Scotland: these presbyteries have "gathered congregations" rather than parishes.
What follows is a list of Church of Scotland parishes (separate pages exist for places of worship and charges/ministers). A complete list of parishes with statistical data will be found in the Church of Scotland Yearbook (known as the Red Book).
Formed on 1 January 2022 from a merger of the Presbytery of Edinburgh and the Presbytery of West Lothian.
Formed on 1 January 2023 from the Presbyteries of Lothian; Melrose and Peebles; Duns; and Jedburgh.
Formed on 30 September 2022 when the presbyteries of Ardrossan; Irvine and Kilmarnock; Ayr; Wigtown and Stranraer; Annandale and Eskdale; and Dumfries and Kirkcudbright merged to become the Presbytery of the South West.
The former presbyteries of Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and St Andrews merged in January 2021.
<sup>1</sup>formerly in the Presbytery of Angus
The presbyteries of Aberdeen and Shetland merged on 1 June 2020. The presbytery of Aberdeen and Shetland then merged with the presbyteries of Moray, Orkney, Gordon, Buchan, and Kincardine and Deeside to form the current presbytery.
Since 1 October 2024 the Church of Scotland's congregations in Orkney have been united in a single Orkney Islands Church of Scotland, retaining most church buildings and staffed by a team ministry.
The former Presbytery of Orkney was split into the three presbyteries of Cairston, Kirkwall and North Isles in 1725. It is not known when they reunited.
<sup>1</sup>united with Aberdeen: Devana and continues to hold meetings as part of that church and parish
