What era do these percentages come from? If it is now, then I would guess that the majority of Scots churchgoers are Church of Scotland, but a significant percentage of the Scots population would describe themselves as belonging to no church at all.

All the best,

Hi Andrew

It is the present that they are talking about. So it would seem that most of today's Scots would be Presbyterian then.

Officially I am a Presbyterian, but if anyone asked me what church I belonged to, I would have to tell them that I don't belong to any church either.

Regards
