The Church of Scotland, the national church of Scotland, divides the country into 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. There are currently 42 presbyteries in Scotland, and around 1500 parishes. In addition, the Church of Scotland has three presbyteries outwith Scotland: the Presbytery of England, the Presbytery of Europe and the Presbytery of Jerusalem. These presbyteries have "gathered congregations" rather than parishes.
PC stands for Parish Church. * denotes the parish church of a medieval parish (Caithness, Inverness, Orkney, Peebles, Ross, Roxburgh, Selkirk, Sutherland, Wigtown) or the successor church to one.
