A church directory lists church ministers and parishes and other ecclesiastical jurisdictions, such as presbyteries, synods, and so forth. Directories can provide important information, including:

Addresses for church officials.
Lists of church jurisdictions and headquarters.
Chronological lists of principal church officials.
Brief biographies or career summaries of ministers.
Addresses of church schools or other institutions.

Directories exist for many denominations. To find the call number for a directory in the Family History Library, look in the FamilySearch Catalog under:

SCOTLAND - CHURCH DIRECTORIES.

You can also find directories in other libraries, archives, and repositories.
