SCOTS’ CHURCH 150th BUILDING ANNIVERSARY
This year marks a significant milestone for Melbourne’s Scots’ Church as it celebrates 150 years of standing proudly at the corner of Collins and Russell streets. Since its completion in 1874, the church has been a symbol of faith and architectural grandeur, a testament to Melbourne’s golden era.
Join us in celebrating this momentous occasion throughout November, beginning with our complimentary giant sausage sizzle on October 30 during lunchtime.
