'the advancement of religion'
The main activity of the Society in Scotland is promotion, a programme which began in 1965. Since that time we have built up a veryl oyal and generous family of supporters, most of whom contribute regularly and generously. Promotion is directed and coordinated from the Office, based at Abercromby Place in Stirling. Each year the Director normally visits the parishes allotted to the Society under the Mission Appeal Programme and invites the people of each parish to missionary awareness and support. Usually we are allocated approximately twenty five parishes per year
