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, the Universal Roman Aristotelian Church (URAC), or the Episcopal Church of Scotland.

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 Statler and the Bishop of Whithorn is Statler (temporarily).

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.

Episcopal Church of Scotland[]

The Episcopal Church of Scotland is one of the smaller churches in Scotland, but besides the URAC is the only independent church in Scotland led by a Scottish pope. The Celtic Aristotelian Church still has some form of power in Scotland, but much of the CAC moved to Ireland. The ECS has four cardinal dioceses, two archdioceses, and several Dioceses within Scotland.
