Ibrox Parish Church
Ibrox Parish Church is a parish church of the Church of Scotland, serving the Ibrox and, to a lesser extent, the Cessnock areas of Glasgow, Scotland, next to the M8 motorway. The church and parish sits within the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow and provides numerous activities in the local and wider community. The current minister is Rev Tara Granados. History The history of the church dates back to 1863, when the Kirk Session of Govan Old Parish Church made the church one of her many daughters to help serve the expanding southside of Glasgow as "Bellahouston Parish Church". The sanctuary was built using money from Moses Steven, a wealthy entrepreneur, and designed by James Smith. In 1898 the two transepts were added to the original building, making it the cruciform shape after two unions with neighbouring churches, Steven Memorial in 1969 and Ibrox in 1978. In 1978 the church name was officially changed to Ibrox Parish Church. The building is Category B listed. Ove ...

List Of Church Of Scotland Parishes
The Church of Scotland, the national church of Scotland, divides the country into Presbyteries, which in turn are subdivided into Parishes, each served by a parish church, usually with its own minister. Unions and readjustments may however result in a parish having more than one building, or several parishes sharing a minister. There are currently 42 presbyteries in Scotland, and around 1500 parishes. In addition, the Church of Scotland has three presbyteries outwith Scotland: the Presbytery of England, the Presbytery of Europe and the Presbytery of Jerusalem. These presbyteries have ''"gathered congregations"'' rather than parishes. What follows is a list of Church of Scotland parishes, congregations and places of worship. Use :Church of Scotland for an alphabetical index of parishes with Wikipedia articles. A complete list of parishes with statistical data will be found in the Church of Scotland Yearbook (known as ''the Red Book''). See also List of Church of Scotland synod ...

Paisley Abbey
Paisley Abbey is a parish church of the Church of Scotland on the east bank of the White Cart Water in the centre of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, about west of Glasgow, in Scotland. Its origins date from the 12th century, based on a former Cluniac monastery. Following the Reformation in the 16th century, it became a Church of Scotland parish kirk. History It is believed that Saint Mirin (or Saint Mirren) founded a community on this site in 7th century. Some time after his death a shrine to the Saint was established, becoming a popular site of pilgrimage and veneration. The name Paisley may derive from the Brythonic (Cumbric) ''Passeleg,'' 'basilica' (derived from the Greek), i.e. 'major church', recalling an early, though undocumented, ecclesiastical importance. In 1163, Walter fitz Alan, the first High Steward of Scotland issued a charter for a priory to be set up on land owned by him in Paisley. It was dedicated to SS. Mary, James, Mirin and Milburga. Around 1 ...
