Scottish diocesan archives

Scottish diocesan archives are collections of historical records maintained by the Church of Scotland's regional church divisions. They include documents such as parish registers, church minutes, correspondence, and other church-related materials. These archives preserve the religious, social, and community history of each diocese, providing valuable resources for researchers, genealogists, and anyone interested in local history. They are typically managed locally within each diocese and may be accessed by appointment or through published catalogs, safeguarding the church’s heritage and enabling insights into Scotland’s ecclesiastical and societal past.
