The story of the
Scottish Bible Society

Since 1809, we have sought, under God, to put the Bible into people’s hands and hearts.

We work so that all people can have the Bible in a language they understand, a form they can access and at an affordable price, to aid genuine encounters with God.

We are a fully independent charity, registered in Scotland, and a founder member of the United Bible Societies – 146 Bible Societies at work in some 200 countries worldwide.

We distribute Bibles, New Testaments and other Scripture-based materials, in a range of media, in Scotland and throughout the world. Our volunteer network includes Action Groups, local Church Representatives and speakers, all helping to spread the Word of God and finance the distribution of the Scriptures at home and overseas.
