Long Description:
The Scots' Church is located at the corner of Collins and Russell Streets in Melbourne's City Centre. This was the first Presbyterian church built in Victoria. The first service of this congregation was held in 1838.

The church was architected by Joesph Reed (1823?-1890). Built in 1874, it was designed in the Neo-Gothic style (revival of the medieval style of architecture was popular in the 1800s). Reed also designed many other nearby Melbourne iconic buildings (Collins Street Baptist Church, St Michael's Uniting Church, St Paul's Cathedral, Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Town Hall, etc).
