I checked the Church of Scotland web site, and yes, they do believe in predestination. From the Westminster Confession (http://www.churchofscotlandextranet.org.uk/xchurchlaw/downloads/xchurchlawconfessionfull.txt), Chapter III, point III:

"By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death."

It's not my Christianity either. Now I'm curious whether people within the Calvinist tradition find the book more satisfying than non-Calvinists.
