The Anglican church in Scotland — a small but historic province of the Anglican Communion with its own bishops, liturgy and Scottish identity.

The Scottish Episcopal Church traces its bishops in unbroken succession from the pre-Reformation church in Scotland. After the establishment of Presbyterianism in 1690, episcopal Christians in Scotland organised themselves separately, suffering long periods of legal restriction. Today the Church is a self-governing province of the Anglican Communion, organised into seven dioceses across Scotland.
