Religion in Scotland
The Kingdom of Scotland is a secular state in that there is no official state religion and all its citizens are granted freedom of religion by the Constitution of Scotland. However the majority of the Scottish people are adherents to either the Old Ways, commonly called Paganism by others, or the Universal Roman Aristotelian Church (URAC).
Universal Roman Aristotelian Church
The URAC in Scotland contains one Province - the Province of Glasgow, which contains the Archdiocese of Glasgow and the Diocese of Whithorn. The Archbishop of Glasgow is Bennett and the Bishop of Whithorn is Alanna_kyles.
Paganism
As Paganism is not one regulated religious institution, but rather a large variety of beliefs, it does not have a single governance such as the URAC does. However many minor adherents to Pagan beliefs are members of the Alliance of Independent Religions (AIR), which is an association of all "unofficial" religions. The Seanchaidhe of the Isles is Conchobhor.
