The Church of Scotland Yearbook

Year Book 24 25

The Church of Scotland Yearbook (known informally as the Red Book) is an annual directory of the church at local, regional, and national levels.

It contains contact information for ministers, deacons, readers, and ministries development staff, as well as for presbytery clerks and the agencies, committees, and certain staff in the church offices.

The 2024-25 edition reflects the union of 9 presbyteries to form a new presbytery: Clèir Eilean Ì: Highlands and Hebrides, and a substantial number of congregational unions within most of the large presbyteries.

The Yearbook contains congregational statistics for every parish, including:

  • Number of communicant members
  • Number of elders
  • Membership numbers of the Church of Scotland Guild
  • Parish's income
  • First year of Giving to Grow contributions
  • Number of young people (under the age of eighteen)

The greater part of the book is in a print edition with the rest of the material found on a number of websites, mainly that of the Church of Scotland. Web addresses are given in the relevant parts of the book.

Where the user of the book is directed to this page on the Church of Scotland's website, the relevant sections are below.
