A Scottish term for a member or officer of a kirk -- the Church of Scotland (the Scottish Presbyterian national church). A kirkman could be a lay member, an elder, or a minister depending on context. The word reflects Scotland's distinct ecclesiastical vocabulary, where 'kirk' (from Old Norse) is used instead of 'church', carrying centuries of Scottish Protestant religious history.
