This chapter summarises the trajectory of the national church under in the reigns of Charles II and James VII showing how Charles dislodged Presbyterian ministers on his restoration and the way the episcopally-governed church functioned in the ensuing three decades through the continuing medium of presbyteries and synods. More specifically it looks at how the national picture was reflected locally. Local involvement in Covenanting is seen through the published diaries of Erskine of Carnock and Ure of Shirgarton. The proclamation of Toleration in1687 led to tolerated Presbyterian meeting-houses in Kippen, Logie and St, Ninians which formed the nucleus of the (new) Presbyteries of Stirling and Dunblane. The response to William’s accession was mixed but there was a considerable recruitment of local people to William’s cause. There was no immediate rabbling of the episcopal clergy but many were deposed via the Privy Council and there were later instances of rabbling in two parishes, Stirling and Logie. Financial records are used to show how congregational giving reflected attitudes to episcopal and presbyterian incumbents in Tulliallan and Alva.
