The Scots’ Church | Melbourne, Australia | Traveller Passport

[FILMED ON July 30, 2017] The Scots’ Church is a Presbyterian church in Melbourne located on Collins Street. Having a motto “In God We Trust”, The Scots’ Church has become a place of worship since 1835. It was designed by the architects from the leading firm in Melbourne at the time who also designed Melbourne Town Hall, Wesley Church, the State Library and Royal Exhibition Building. The Scots’ Church was constructed from Barrabool stone with dressings in New Zealand Kakanui stone and was the highest building in Melbourne at the time.

The interior houses an impressive artwork collection of stained glass windows including the Last Supper - the second largest window in the church, the Good Samaritan - the oldest aisle window and magnificent windows depicting eight episodes from the Gospels. Located above the lectern is the late Australian prime minister Sir Robert Menzies’ flag and the crest of the Order of the Thistle. Additionally, on the North Transept is the main organ of four keyboards and 68 speaking stops which was installed by Rieger Orgelbau, Schwarzach, Austria
