I imagine the Church of Scotland parishes might have kept these, but did the non - established churches keep them also? There were no Bishops in the Church of Scotland. It was and is Presbyterian. Attempts from over the border to introduce episcopalianism were strongly resisted ...eg Covenanters. So there are no BTs Irene
