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). 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.
