⛪ St Andrew’s Scots Memorial Church – A Scottish Legacy in the Heart of Jerusalem

St Andrew’s Scots Memorial Church is located just outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls; a Scottish tribute, First World War memorial & one of the most peaceful viewpoints in the city - overlooking Mount Zion, the Hinnom Valley, & the domes & spires of the ancient city.

Built in 1927 by the Church of Scotland to honour Scottish soldiers who fell during the First World War in the Middle East, this limestone sanctuary reflects both its heritage & its setting.

The church was designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, combining Scottish architectural elements with Jerusalem stone.

Still run by the Church of Scotland, it serves as both a spiritual home for expats & a centre for interfaith dialogue & community outreach. The guesthouse next door offers warm hospitality to travellers & a quiet place of reflection.

At Imagine Israel Tours we love to share the human stories woven throughout Israel's history. This church is not just a religious site, but also an opportunity to understand Britain's role in the region’s complex history.
