It pays particular attention to the concepts of space and worship in relation to the practice of evangelical Presbyterianism in the Scottish Highlands. ‘Worship’, a term which has no universal application in religious studies, has been thinly conceived in geographical literature and must be examined both as a process and as a practice."
