List of Church of Scotland synods and presbyteries
The Church of Scotland has a Presbyterian structure, which means it is organised under a hierarchy of courts. Traditionally there were four levels of courts: the Kirk Session (at congregational level), the Presbytery (at local area level), the Synod (at a regional level) and the General Assembly (the Church's highest court). Synods were abolished in 1993.[1]
It is the presbyteries which have oversight of parishes and pastoral responsibility for parish ministers, and the Kirk Sessions of the individual parishes are subordinated to them. A parish minister is answerable to the Presbytery, not to the Kirk Session.
History and mergers before 2020
The original Presbyteries of the Church of Scotland were created in April 1581, about 20 years after the Reformation in Scotland and the establishment of the Church of Scotland. In 1581, the original 600 parishes were grouped together into about 50 presbyteries, 13 of which were erected immediately: Edinburgh, St Andrews, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Glasgow, Ayr, Irvine, Haddington, Dunbar, Chirnside, Linlithgow and Dunfermline.[2] Others were erected in the years immediately following: Peebles, Dalkeith, Duns, Jedburgh, Selkirk.
Scottish local government was reorganised in 1975, creating a new system of regions and districts to replace the long-standing counties and burghs. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland also ordered a major reorganisation of presbyteries in the mid-1970s, redrawing presbytery boundaries to make them broadly contiguous with the then-new local government boundaries. An example was the union of the former Presbyteries of Cupar and St Andrews, creating a new Presbytery of St Andrews (which also included the Parishes of Newport-on-Tay, Wormit and Tayport, previously in the Presbytery of Dundee). This new Presbytery's boundaries mirrored the North East Fife District Council.
Following further local government reorganisation in the 1990s (replacing regions and districts with a single-tier system of councils), it was proposed to further considerably reduce the number of Presbyteries (possibly to as few as seven). This proposal was rejected by the General Assembly. However, the synods were abolished in 1993.

Mergers from 2020 to 2024, and current presbyteries
From 2020 to 2024 the Church of Scotland engaged in a process of consultations with the aim of reducing the number of presbyteries to around 12.[17][18] The completed mergers went as follows:
- On 1 June 2020 the presbyteries of Aberdeen and Shetland merged to form the Presbytery of Aberdeen and Shetland (with Shetland merging all of its parishes to one).[4]
- On 1 September 2020 the presbyteries of Dumbarton, and Greenock and Paisley (itself a merger in 2003 of Greenock and Paisley presbyteries) merged becoming the Presbytery of Clyde. This reflects the original 1581 roots (at the time called Paisley and Dumbarton).[3]
- On 1 January 2021 the presbyteries of St Andrews, Kirkcaldy, and Dunfermline merged becoming the Presbytery of Fife.
- During 2021, the western part of Moray was transferred to Inverness presbytery.[4]

Therefore, the total number of presbyteries now stands at 14.[19] In Scotland there are eleven: the nine marked above by bold type, plus the presbyteries of Lewis and Glasgow which as yet have been unaffected by mergers.
