St Andrew's Church belongs to the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. It was built in 1930 in memory of the Scots who have fallen in the First world war in battles with the Turkish army. Money for the construction was collected by subscription. The Church is dedicated to St. Andrew, one of the first disciples of Jesus Christ, the patron Saint of Scotland.

The temple looks so harsh that it is easy to imagine standing in the Scottish mountains. British architect Clifford Holliday was responsible for several buildings in the quarter: in addition to the construction of the Church, he had to renovate and expand the charitable ophthalmic hospital of the order of St. John of Jerusalem. Holliday built a hospital for two new buildings – the larger of them, which is now a centre of arts and crafts "Jerusalem house of quality", stands near the Church of St. Andrew. All the buildings are designed in the same style, bringing together Eastern and European architecture, with a hint of English impregnable castles. Especially the castle-like Church with its clean lines and rectangular large tower, on which is visible from afar waving the national flag of Scotland (St. Andrew's (oblique) cross.

The first stone of the temple was laid by field Marshal Lord Allenby in 1917, accepted the surrender of Jerusalem and humbly, on foot entered the Holy city. Says a commemorative plaque on the Church wall. The temple houses a small memorial to the fallen and a few plates in memory of specific units, and the guest house hangs a large portrait of Lord Allenby.

In the period when Britain ruled the mandate over Palestine, it worked and served for many Scots. After the expiration of the mandate of education of the state of Israel and the beginning of the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 – 49, the number of Scots in Jerusalem has decreased dramatically. St Andrew's Church was on the front line – sometimes, the fights went right around the building. The priest every day at a certain time, rang the bell, to show those who remained in the Western part of the city that he lives. Some members managed to get here on a Sunday service, but the priest led her, even if no one came.

Now, despite the apparent severity, it is an extremely peaceful place with a cozy guest house. Under the high stairs leading to the Church attracts the attention of a part of the wall, covered with a suddenly cheerful bright blue ceramic tile – work of the local Armenian artists, 1927. Inside the temple is very simple: white walls, vaulted ceilings. In the large Windows in the style Crusader – blue stained glass. A small brass plate in the floor is reminiscent of the legendary king of Scotland Robert the Bruce – he bequeathed to his heart was brought to Jerusalem. To fulfill this request has failed (the messenger who carried the king's heart in a silver casket, was killed in Spain), but the Bruce to the Holy Land remember.
