This paper describes and analyses the financing arrangements of Edinburgh’s Burgh churches from the time of the Reformation to the enactment of the Church of Scotland (Property and Endowments) Act 1925. Deploying financial and demographic data it offers a preliminary economic commentary on two key episodes in Edinburgh’s nineteenth century ecclesiastical history – the Voluntary revolt against the Annuity Tax of the 1830s, and the 1843 Disruption – thereby enriching existing narratives of the period through a calibration of the financial impact of both events on the Burgh’s revenues.

This article offers the first detailed analysis of George Mackenzie of Cromarty's most explicitly theological work, the 1708 Synopsis Apocalyptica. It includes critical engagement with the text, consideration of its polemical aims and targets, and comparison to its major influences. It contends that the Synopsis is crucial to understanding Mackenzie's ideas and motivations, revealing for the first time, the religious, eschatological connections between Mackenzie's unionism, monarchism and opposition to deism, atheism and Judaism. The Synopsis betrays more than previously unnoticed Judeophobia on Mackenzie's part; it illustrates that a distinct form of anti-Jewish bigotry which cast Jews as dangerous, cruel oppressors of Christians was present in the British Isles throughout the long seventeenth century. The article therefore cautions against the assumption that the dawn of the eighteenth century was necessarily characterised by increased religious toleration amongst educated elites.

This article examines the under-studied practical implications of legal toleration and the realities of religious co-existence, by exploring how Scottish army chaplains pushed at confessional dividing lines and tested the differing toleration systems within the British Isles to their limits. By situating army chaplaincy at the centre, rather than the margin, of the wider religio-political changes in early eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland, it argues that the deficiency of chaplaincy resulted not from individual neglect, but its legal juxtaposition between the religious and military authorities, an institutional position that both reflected and amplified church-state tensions. Such jurisdictional ambiguity was gradually clarified by the mid-eighteenth century, when Scottish army chaplains, as military personnel, came under the effective control of lay patronage. Despite persistent concerns for chaplains' doctrinal orthodoxy at the individual and local levels, Presbyterian chaplains became increasingly Moderate in outlook, which had implications for soldiers' spirituality. Similar to the patronage disputes between Moderate appointees and their Evangelically-minded parishioners in Scottish localities, chaplains and soldiers also diverged in their religious character. Accordingly, the fact that chaplaincy posts were more easily given to the Moderates frustrated pious soldiers, who held on to their confessional identities even when the eighteenth-century British army, and the various religious landscapes across the Atlantic in which they served, became an assuredly pluralistic and porous spiritual environment.
