Kirk’s College of Divinity has so few students it is ‘scarcely viable’

The Church of Scotland’s ­historic college of divinity has attracted so few new candidates that the school is now “scarcely viable”.

New College School of Divinity at Edinburgh University is understood to have had the lowest intake in its 167-year history this year.

Just four people, fewer than a third of last year’s 14 graduates, have applied.
