Most Presbyterians found in [[England]] can trace a [[Scottish people|Scottish]] connection and the denomination was taken to North America by Scots and Scots-Irish immigrants. The Presbyterian denominations in Scotland hold to the theology of Calvin and his immediate successors, although there is a range of theological views within contemporary Presbyterianism.	+
