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 (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, congregations and places of worship. A complete list of parishes with statistical data will be found in the Church of Scotland Yearbook (known as the Red Book). See also List of Church of Scotland synods and presbyteries.
In Scotland, at least 275 churches have closed since 1 January 2000, a decline of 15.6% in 21 years.

Presbytery of the North East and Northern Isles
[edit]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.[383] It is not known when they reunited.
