Kirk (Church) Session Records
Kirk sessions are local church courts, held by the Church of Scotland since 1560. Their records comprise one of the most important sources for Scottish history from the sixteenth century until the late nineteenth century.
A kirk session is the lowest court in the Church of Scotland, comprising the minister and elders of an individual parish or congregation. In the course of kirk session business, these courts produced records documenting their meetings, decisions and transactions.
As well as acting as a church court, kirk sessions had important responsibilities for poor relief and education in Scotland from the late sixteenth century until the late nineteenth century. — ScotlandsPeople
Port of Menteith Parish Kirk (Church)
Port of Menteith (Gaelic: Port Loch Innis Mo Cholmaig) is a village and parish in the former historic county of Perthshire, Scotland. It is the only significant settlement on the Lake of Menteith. The Lake of Menteith is the only lake in Scotland that is referred to as a “lake” rather than a “loch.” The village of Port of Menteith was established as a burgh of barony in 1457 by King James III of Scotland.
