The Presbyterian church does have its foundations in Scotland. Its ancestry can be traced back to around 1560, and its founder is considered to be John Knox, a Scottish-born preacher who studied with John Calvin in Switzerland, then brought Calvin's teachings back to Scotland, establishing a church based on these teachings.
