The Church, located in Campbell Town, is a heritage-listed sandstone property built in 1857, steeped in rich Scottish and Tasmanian history. Coach tours and group visits are welcomed, by prior arrangement, with private events tailored to provide a memorable experience. Guests can enjoy an immersive historical slideshow that tells the story of both The Church and the surrounding region, ensuring that every visit is informative and engaging. With its fully fenced grounds, gardens, caravan bar, immaculate facilities and picturesque setting, The Church is a perfect place for events and gatherings that blend Tasmania’s natural beauty with its Scottish heritage. Delve into the rich Scottish history that weaves through Campbell Town, a town with a profound connection to its namesake, Elizabeth Campbell. Lachlan Macquarie, her Scottish husband, bestowed the names Campbell Town and Elizabeth River upon this charming locale. The Scottish influence runs deep, with numerous ships arriving directly from Scotland, bringing forth a wave of Scottish settlers to this picturesque district. The Church, a testament to this heritage, was erected to serve the local Scottish Presbyterian community, with its inaugural minister being the esteemed Scotsman, Dr. Adam Turnbull. A hub for Scottish culture, Campbell Town once played host to vibrant Highland Games, fostering a sense of community and celebration.
