I'm not sure if this applies to the Episcopal church in Scotland or not, but I grew up in a "high" Episcopal church in the southern U.S. In a nutshell, the high church trappings (not necessarily theology) are more like the Catholic church -- we had priests (who could marry) and monks and nuns (who could not marry). We went to confession, our mass was very similar to the Catholic mass (in Latin, back then). We observed meatless Fridays, all sorts of seasons and saint days. The "low" church was closer to the Methodists, from what I understand, but since I wasn't raised in that one, I hesitate to speak for it. Maybe someone else on the list can. I would assume that the Church of England would have "High" and "Low" church just as the U.S. does. The Church of Scotland is Presbyterian.
