The Reformation failed in Scotland and the country remained strongly Catholic. True or False.

The Reformation in Scotland did not fail; it fundamentally reshaped the country’s religion into a Protestant framework. In 1560, reformers led by figures like John Knox pushed through reforms in Parliament that rejected Catholic doctrine and established a Protestant church—the Church of Scotland. While Catholic practices lingered in some areas and among certain families, the national church and political leadership moved away from Catholicism, and the country became largely Protestant in the long run. So the statement is false.
