According to the Church of Scotland Year Book of 1945 (Diamond Jubilee Volume - Price Two Shillings and Sixpence!) within the Presbytery of Dalkeith there were 39 Charges or congregations, with one or two exceptions each having its own minister. Correspondingly, the Presbytery of Haddington and Dunbar contained some 37 Charges or congregations - a grand total of 76.

A glance at the Church of Scotland Year Book of 2000 reveals that within the combined Presbytery of Lothian (formed in 1975 in response to local government reorganisation) a total of 35 Charges or congregations remained - a reduction of almost 50%. Such have been the effects of social and economic change that increasing unions and linkages have been forced upon the Church.
