St Andrew's Church, Jerusalem, Byzantine Revival church on a hilltop near Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel.

The stone structure features Armenian blue ceramic decorations, fountains, and a prominent dome overlooking the Hinnom Valley from its elevated position.

Field Marshal Lord Allenby laid the foundation stone in 1927 as a memorial to Scottish soldiers who died fighting Turkish forces in World War I.

The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10 AM, connecting the Scottish community in Jerusalem while offering both in-person and virtual attendance options.

The building includes a guesthouse providing accommodation for visitors, with easy access to explore Jerusalem's religious and historical landmarks.

A floor plaque honors Scottish King Robert Bruce, commemorating his unfulfilled wish to have his heart buried in Jerusalem after his death in 1329.
