{{main|Teind}}
In Scotland ''teinds'' were the tenths of certain produce of the land appropriated to the maintenance of the Church and clergy. At the Reformation most of the Church property was acquired by the Crown, nobles and landowners. In 1567 the [[Privy Council of Scotland]] provided that a third of the revenues of lands should be applied to paying the clergy of the reformed [[Church of Scotland]]. In 1925 the system was recast by statute<ref>Church of Scotland (Property and Endowments) Act 1925, Part I.</ref> and provision was made for the standardisation of stipends at a fixed value in money. The [[Court of Session]] acted as the Teind Court. Teinds were finally abolished by section 56 of the [[Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000]].
