Very crude back of the spreadsheet calc.

Say 70,000 active members of a congregation in the Church of Scotland. Assume 300 is minimal viable size of a congregation (I am guessing a lot here). That implies something like 230 CoS churches in Scotland. Let's round that up to 250 to cover isolated island and highlands communities.

Per capita Scotland that's one CoS church per 21,000 or 22,0000 people, or between 20-25 Church of Scotland churches in Edinburgh. You could perhaps be more efficient in the cities and have 10 in Edinburgh but larger church congregations.

The wikipedia page for the Church of Scotland says they have about 1,350 congregations. I think that is crudely 5 times as many congregations as I think they need.
