 '''History—'''<br>Strathearn is in the region in the parish of Muthil, and Episcopalians come from around the region to attend services in Muthill. At the time of the Scottish Revolution in 1689, the Episcopal minister in this area opposed the ordination of a Presbyterian minister to replace him. A riot ensued and the Presbyterians had to meet out of doors. But eventually, in March 1705, the Episcopalians gave up the keys to the church. By 1837 there were 44 individuals within the parish who were Episcopalian.

Each parish has a registrar's office and large cities have several. The records are created by the registrars and copies are sent to the General Register Office in Edinburgh.
